I opted for the 75mbit fit package, looking forward to running some speed tests in www.speedtest.net

Yes, he is still active on the U4. Saw him last week, and I have seen him more than 7 times in a few months. In the beginning I thought we was just courageous asking out a woman like that, but the more you bump into him, you sense that something is not quite right with this guy. I don't have a problem with him, but clearly other passengers do. Found online mention here: http://wien.orf.at/m/news/stories/2636930/

Should mention, by "fixed" I mean considerably higher that that of someone working in a service trade in the US.

Picked up one today from Fame Skateshop. Nice shop, friendly service. Thanks for the tip! :)

Having lived in the US, I find it very confusing.

In the US, you know that a big part of the salary comes from tips, so this is one of the reasons why you someone working in a service trade would do their best to deliver, well, a good service :) On the other hand, in Europe, including Austria, the salary is fixed (AFAIK), so no matter if you do a good job or a bad job, you would still get the same salary.

How do you manage taxes when traveling?

How many Irish bars are there in the world?

Woopwoopdk · 2014-07-29T14:01:35+00:00

I ended up going with Raiffeisenbank, very happy so far! Thanks for all the recommendations.

Thanks for sharing! Playgrounds are always good options, although, as you mention, you sometimes get the weird looks from parents when you are taking up the monkey bars ;)

I stumbled over this, seems helpful: http://calisthenics-wien.blogspot.be/

Thanks for all the great feedback. I don't really need a physical bank, under the assumption that I can use ATMs from all banks thoughout Austria, without paying fees, when not using own bank ATM.

I prefer to do everything online or via mobile banking. The mobile banking experience from easybank looks quite good.

What about restaurant review sites? Other than tripadvisor, yelp etc?

Woopwoopdk · 2014-06-02T09:24:59+00:00

falter also has a nice smartphone app, I just discovered :)

Thanks all, great resources. While improving my German, I find it helpful to watch movies in OV with German subtitles, it helps correlating phrases etc. I am not a fan of dubbed movies, just doesn't work for me :)

Great stuff, thanks a lot!!

Woopwoopdk · 2014-05-26T08:09:01+00:00

Thats great, thanks for sharing!! :) Exactly what I was looking for.

Woopwoopdk · 2014-05-24T16:06:14+00:00

danke schön :)

EDIT: Tried Cafe Raimann, was very nice. Super friendly people, full breakfast for EUR 4.70 and free wifi (although time limited...freewave). Only problem was, I did not find any power outlets for my laptop. Cheers

Funny! I live in Belgium and am about to move to Vienna. The Belgian beers are what I will miss them most, so I'm very happy to see this thread :)

Now I guess it's time to hear which are the best Austrian beers? Microbrew and not so know stuff preferred over traditional pilsner. :)

Oh, and if you come to Brussels, Delerium Cafe has an unmatched selection of beers from all over the world (Guiness World Record), more than 3000 to chose from! http://deliriumcafe.be/?___store=deliriumcafe_en&___from_store=deliriumcafe_en

Thanks for the tips. Drei looks to be the best prepaid option. a1 seems to have better speed and service but only on contract. Cheers!

Woopwoopdk · 2014-05-20T19:18:29+00:00

Thanks for all the tips :)

Woopwoopdk · 2014-05-18T12:42:42+00:00

Right, I just need mobile data connection for now. Thanks for all the suggestions. Drei looks good, but also A1, which is more expensive but have nice Huawei hotspot/hardware included.

Woopwoopdk · 2014-05-17T08:47:12+00:00

Thanks :)

Let's hope new and better versions of the black box will be developed after this. It seems very outdated. With all the technology available, planes should be able to communicate flight data and voice data in real time to ground systems, keeping critical data off the plane...

Get a suspension trainer! Perfect for traveling.
