What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play...
At the Dynamic Outdoors Ski trip in St. Anton, Austria in early February there were 40 of us accomplished, single, mostly 30-something New Yorkers looking to ski down the Austrian mountain trails and find other excitement. We had about 60% women in our group but when we arrived at Piccadilly Dance Club on Saturday night it was packed with about 85% Euro guys looking to dance with anyone moving to music that was hot 5 years ago.
My friend asked a bouncer if it was a "gay club" and the hefty Slavic guy said "if you want gay you'll have to go somewhere else." The women in our group loved the place. One even told me that Euro guys (think good looking but dentally challenged bad guys from "Die Hard") are not "hung up" about their sexuality like the American guys (think grown up version of "American Pie" characters). I found that ironic coming from a single 33 year old expert on "The Rules" who's seriously hunting for good husband material. Proving her point - the Euro guys had no fear of dancing with their arms consistently twirling over their heads.
The skiing was on marathon long trails which connected several beautiful historic towns. The powder was extremely pleasurable to ski but the unmarked areas off-trail could easily lead to dangerous cliffs. Their attitude is: "Ski at your own risk - So don't cry like a school girl who skinned her knee if you fall off a cliff."
My question is: Would you interpret this vacation as fun/exciting or stressful/annoying?
