were you one of those children who collected stickers? or maybe you were one of the others, who never got the point of stickers? either way, you probably thought the sticker times were finally over already a decade ago. at least I did. I had no idea that collecting stickers might in fact be preparation for "the real life". well, it is if you happen to live in vienna.
there is a sticker (pickerl) for almost everything here and mostly you need to visit an office or two to get one (office hours 8-12, except on thursdays and on fridays and... but that's another story). for your student's identity card you need one, but that's nothing new: that's how it works in finland, too. you also need one in order to get the student's discount at university cafeterias. one for driving on the highway. one for parking. one for the university library.
on the university tour organized for the erasmus students our guide told us: "for this you need a pickerl. it's a sticker!"

It might sounds odd. But I don't think I know what do you mean by stickers?
As far as I recall, kids in school had those pin's sort of things.
Don't tell me that you're having a pin as a student card, do you? :D :D :D
no, no pins. I really mean stickers. girls had books where they collected them and then exchanged them. boys clued some on their desks or at the bed side.
my favourite ones were pink rabbits with "fur".
our actual student card is a paper card, but the each term you need to get a new sticker to it. :-)
I remember the sticker-days..
:)
Wonderful trip you had!
