Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.
Wish I brought a variety of Ziplock bags and containers. Wish I brought Uncle Dans Ranch Dressing, and also Best Foods Mayo. And my 12 cup Cuisinart coffee maker. I have too long a list.
3 things I should not have brought , I cannot think of even one.

Prepare to learn this language, and this slang. Go to the district office for help in finding a place, but do this as soon as possible, also look in the paper, or go to virtual vienna site, there is alot of help there.

Apartment

Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?
Higher, and the average is about 8 -1200 American Dollars per month WITHOUT the ammenities, and you need to purchase your own kitchen. I am not kidding.
