I saw an ad for postdoc positions in Vienna today and I'm seriously thinking of applying. Has anyone lived in Vienna? Did you like it? How is it different from London/UK in a day to day living sense?
Also, if an apartment is listed as X euros in rent is that going to be per week or per month? E.g is this flat 500 a week or 500 a month? Is there anything weird like the German rental system where it's normal to have your own kitchen and take it with you to your new place when you move?
I gather that most people speak English as a second language - is it possible to get by without German or would that need to be learned to a decent level before we go? Academia is done in English so I wouldn't need it for work but would my DP (he's a software engineer)?
Sorry for the millions of questions, this is just one of those ideas that's burrowed straight into my brain and Google isn't being helpful enough quickly enough.
We don't have any kids if that makes a difference.
