Sourdough

We moved here from the bay area about 2 years ago and my wife has had a hard time giving up the sour dough. She absolutely loves austrian bread, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to surprise her, if possible, by finding her either a good SF style sourdough here, or a starter so we can make our own. Any suggestions on where to find one of these would be appreciated.

Expats in Austria: Do you understand your energy bills?

Hi everyone,

I'm curious about the experience of English-speaking people living in Austria when it comes to electricity and gas — particularly bills, contracts, price changes and choosing a provider.

I put together a 2-minute anonymous survey with just 5 questions. I'm mainly interested in whether people actually find the system confusing and, if so, how they deal with it.

Survey: Do you understand your electricity and/or gas bill? – 2-minute survey

Feel free to also reply directly to the post if you don't want to take the survey. Any input helps :)

I'd really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Looking to meet new people

Hi! I'm Tara, 19F and I just moved to Vienna to start my bachelors degree at UniWien. I’m an international student and I'm hoping to meet new people, make some friends and have people to hang out with. I’m generally very sociable and definitely need some company or I’ll go crazy haha. So if you're also looking to meeting new people and are up for hanging out feel free to message me! Would be happy to grab a coffee, go for a drink, explore Vienna or just hang out :)

Not having luck with apartment search in Vienna - what is the problem?

Hi all, I recently relocated to Vienna for work and have a temporary accommodation for one month but I am looking for a 3-room (aka 2-bedroom) apartment starting 01 November, in districts 1-9. Despite having a budget that I've been told is pretty decent (I would like to find a place for €1.500, but would go up to €1.700) I am not having much luck on even finding listings. Is it an issue of all of the apartments that would be available on 01 November already having gone? Or is my budget unrealistic? Thanks for any tips or insights!

Tutor Advice

Hey friends!

I'm new in Vienna and I had a quick question to ask everyone. I am a tutor on the side and I am currently looking for some extra students. I want to put up my tutor flyer in libraries and grocery stores but I don't know if I am allowed to do that. In my old town i knew all the store owner of our small shop so it didn't matter but Vienna is a huge city and i have heard horror stories of people getting small tickets for really minor issues so i want to proceed in the right way.

Does anyone know any information? It would help a tonnn

Thanks!

Red white red or EU Blue card?

Hi everyone, I’m an international student in Vienna and have been here for three years on a student residence permit, working part-time jobs alongside my studies. I’ve just been offered a full-time job in my field (38.5 hours a week), but I haven’t finished my degree yet. I’m still writing my master’s thesis. In the first interview, HR asked me if I knew how the permit process would work in my case, and I have a second interview coming up in a few days. Has anyone been in the same situation?
