Are rents cheaper in Austra than Dublin? Is Vienna a very expensive city?
@WineAndRum4 күн бұрын
Rents are cheaper than Dublin on average. But social housing is affordable but the private rentals charge a lot more, though not as much as Dublin. It's not very expensive, but it can be expensive depending on your lifestyle. Groceries can be more expensive than Dublin depending on where you shop.

As an Indian who has lived in the UK, Switzerland, and India, I've experienced reverse culture shock firsthand. In the past, when I was younger and single, I was less observant and more focused on my own life. However, as I've grown older and taken on more responsibilities, I've become more aware of the world around me, including its flaws. It's interesting to note that many of the issues I observe today were also present in India years ago, but I may have been less likely to notice or address them at the time.

So you joined the group of the thousands of youtubers who are earning their money with your personal judgement on another culture or your owm or vice versa. Another approach might be to acknowledge that you became a different person having lived some years in another country. Your perspective became broader and your capacity of enjoying different ways of doing things became bigger too. 40 % of Vienna's population were not born in Austria and there even are elementary schools where 85 % of the kids have another mother tongue, not melodious Austrian German. So the complaining about the typical grumpy Viennese is a stereotype, a mere cliché. Yes, there are types like that but you are not obliged to interact with them. Your future friends will come from that group with similar experiences, students who speak 3 or more languages fluenty, grew up some place, moved to another, there are thousands of them in Vienna these days. Die unerwünschten Postwurfsendungen kann man leicht abstellen. Ein Anruf bei oder eine Mail an die für Konsumfragen zuständigen Stelle im Ministerium für Soziales oder im Rathaus oder der Arbeiterkammer und Sie bekommen einen offiziellen Sticker mit "Keine Werbesendungen" zugeschickt. So gewinnen Sie Zeit für Schöneres als Reduktionsaktionen von Billa oder Spar. Und ja - es ist seit 7, 8 Jahren wegen des Klimawandels viel zu heiß. Wir müssen unseren Tagesablauf in Zukunft spanisch organisieren und die Siesta mit zugezogenen Vorhängen genießen. Welcome back!

As old Viennese I have to tell you a secret. Viennese are the friendliest people on earth IF you let them be crumpy ;-D In fact for us Viennese is nothing more annoying than seeing a friendly face in the morning, and god forbid that friendly face then also dares to say - a joyful and bursted with energy - "Good Morning" = that´s truely the worst that can happen in the morning = that has even the high potential to ruin the rest of the day ;-D Just joking ..but with a tiny pinch of truth

The biggest culture shock for me was that in Ireland it's completely normal to start a conversation in a queue or waiting at the bus stop. In Austria if someone starts talking to you at the bus stop you kind of expect them to be a drug addict or a lunatic or something.

Thank you for responding to my request so quickly (you could have been thinking about making a video about it yourself, but thanks anyway). From what you`ve just said and my own observations it seems to me that a certain very characteristic Celtic-Anglo-Saxon lightness which you can very clearly discern and experience in the Uk and Ireland is simply missing in Austria and Germany and also other Germanic societies (Holland, Demnark, Norway, etc.) This "ligthness" is difficult to define, but very obvious to anyone who has experienced it. I even think it`s one of the defining features of the Uk and Ireland. Germans and Austrians tend to be somewhat "heavy" and inflexible compared to the British and Irish. Calling someone a "filthy dog" could lead to serious legal consequences in Germany, whereas in Ireland and UK it`s just part of their tongue-in-cheek culture. And this is something you will always miss once you`ve experienced it. On the other hand you can appreciate the technical efficiency and attention to detail of the Germans/Austrians.

Cows: They're usually curious, they're watching you, but they're usually relaxed. At least as long as they don't feel endangered themselves. This may be due to dogs, especially when the cows have young. I`m Bavarian and like hiking the mountains. Almost at every hike I meet cows. I keep my distance if possible, but when I need to come close to them, then I talk to them in a relaxed voice. Never ever had any bad experience. But for sure the news talk about some incidents - usually then dogs are involved (or weird behaviour by humans). Consider yourself as intrudor to their terrain.

The Buchtln at Station Baumgartner are an absolute must if you're there 😍 They also have great Kaspressknödelsuppe. Depending on your ambitions I may have some hiking suggestions if you need or want any 😁 A few years ago I was also barely making it to the top, now I still get tomato-faced and I huff and puff all the way up, but I usually keep to the suggested way-times, which is always surprising to me in the end.
