Der Schock - The shock

Hallo & Welcome back.

Um ehrlich zu sein wusste ich, dass es nach London wieder so sein wird wie schon beim ersten mal nach einer Reise nach GB: ich werde enttäuscht sein sobald ich zurück bin.
Aber das es sooo schnell geht? Ich war gerade erst eine (1) Stunde zurück in Österreich und schon wieder richtig enttäuscht von diesem Staat & Land. Oder wie auch immer.

Kaum zurück wollte ich was essen gehen bevor ich zu einem Termin weiter musste. Die Schnitzelwelt in Feldkirchen hat sich da angeboten.
Hindernis Nr. 1: der Parkplatz war seeeeehr eng.
Hindernis Nr. 2: eine Rampe war zugeparkt (ja da stand ein Auto auf der Rampe!!!)
Hindernis Nr. 3: auf einer Rampe stand eine Werbetafel von einem Cafè.
Hindernis Nr. 4: es gab keinen Lift zur Schnitzelwelt.

Dann hatte ich Hunger auch keinen mehr.
Und die Ausrede von der Dame die auf der Rampe geparkt hat war: "Ich musste nur schnell ausladen" - bei diesen Leuten geht alles immer nur "ganz schnell" oder "nur kurz" - denkt doch mal bitte daran, dass für Menschen wie mich diese Rampe sehr nützlich ist und nicht umsonst da ist!

Was aber einfach nicht in meinem Kopf geht: Leben wir nicht in einem Sozialstaat? Sollten die Menschen da nicht total sozial + freundlich + hilfsbereit sein? Sollte da nicht das meiste eigentlich schon barrierefrei zugänglich sein?

Ich finde ja die ganzen Unterstützungen die man vom Staat & Land bekommt echt super & ich bin total dankbar dass es die gibt. Aber Geld macht nicht glücklich. Man will auch raus gehen aber das Problem ist: man muss vorher 10x überlegen wo man hingeht. Man kann nicht einfach drauf los starten mit dem Rollstuhl und sagen man geht jetzt iiiirgendwo was trinken.
Und das finde ich so schade.
In London gibts da kein Problem. Man fährt drauf los, wenn man wo nicht weiterkommt helfen einem die Leute sowieso, und man muss nicht 10x überlegen.

Viele werden jetzt sagen: Dann geh doch nach London!
Glaubt mir, wenn es so einfach wäre würde ich das tun!!!

Was ich mit diesem Blogeintrag einfach sagen will ist: Österreich, nicht nur der Staat sondern auch die Leute in diesem Staat, nehmt euch ein Vorbild an London + Los Angeles. Die Barrierefreiheit ist top. Die Hilfsbereitschaft ist top. It is just AMAZING.
So & ich bin jetzt fertig. Nächste Woche kommt dann ein Blogeintrag zu meiner Reise :)
Und nebenbei gehts auch weiter mit den Blogeinträgen über das Studieren - wenn dieser Blogeintrag online geht habe ich schon meine erste Nacht ganz alleine im Studentenwohnheim verbracht :D


To be honest, I knew I'd be disappointed again after going back to Austria from my vacations in GB. But I didn't expect the time passing so fast? I was only back for like an (1) hour and again very disappointed in this state and country itself; or whatever. 

Right after, I wanted to grab some food before I had to go to to an appointment. 
The 'Schnitzelwelt' in Feldkirchen was an offer. 
Obstacle Nr. 1: the parking spots were way too small. 
Obstacle Nr. 2: there was a car parking on the ramp (yes somebody has parked the car on the wheelchair ramp!) 
Obstacle Nr. 3: there was also a billboard standing on the ramp 
Obstacle Nr. 4: there wasn't even an elevator that could take me up to the restaurant. 

Now I wasn't even hungry anymore.
And the woman's excuse that parked her car on the ramp was: "I just had to unload the car very quick." - everything they do is always "very quick" or "just a sec" - please take a minute to think about the people who really need a ramp like this. I mean, they didn't put it out there for nothing. 

But what I don't get is: Don't we live in a social state? Shouldn't the people be like social + friendly + helpful? Shouldn't most places be available for hanicapped people as well? 

I do think the whole support that we get from the state is great and I'm really grateful. But money won't buy us happiness. 
People wanna go out as well, but the problem is: you have to think more than twice where you actually go. You can't just walk out and go to all places with a wheelchair. And that's what I find really sad. 
I had no problems in London for example. You just go outside and if you get stuck somewhere people are ready to help each other und you don't have to think twice at all! 

Now a lot of you will be saying: Then go to London if you think it's better! 
Trust me, if it were that easy, I totally would!!!

What I want to say with this blog post is that not just Austria itself but also the people in this country should really take London and LA as an example. The accessibility is great. The cooperativeness is great. It's just AMAZING.
'Key & now I'm done! Next week I'll be posting something about my trip to London :)

    My nominees:

    So I am breaking the rule & nominate some Bloggers I totally LOVE.
