Oh! That is not what I thought it would be like at all! lol. I thought the whole country would be watching and supporting him.

Maybe where he lived in Styria the people have been more proud of him and so, but as far as I remember, he has become really very popular in our country when the Terminator movies began, but don't take me for granted.
Of course, when he became the Governor of California he became a Superstar here too 😎
Very interesting sir johannpiber! What is Styria, is that a city?
Styria is a state in Austria, like I am living in Carinthia, the southernmost state. Styria is our neighbor state in the nord and east: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Austria
That make perfect sense sir johannpiber, thank you! hey is it big news there when Arnold comes back to visit? It would be like the president of another country coming wouldn't it? Do you guys have any other famous movie stars or is that it?
Do you know Christoph Waltz? - this is the only other famous actor that comes into my mind right now.
Of course, when Arnold comes it is always a big thing and he is in the news, but it's more like a famous friend comes for a visit :)
States of Austria
Austria is a federal republic made up of nine states, known in German as Länder. Since Land is also the German word for "country", the term Bundesländer ("federation states") is often used instead to avoid ambiguity. The Constitution of Austria uses both terms. Even though English "land" is a cognate, the term (Bundes)land is commonly rendered as "state" or "province" by tradition in English writing.
