First week in Austria

Now that we've moved all our stuff and settled down in Vienna I figured it was time to write an update about the first week here.  The move itself went really smooth. All our furniture and stuff fitted in one van so we only had to make the drive once. We spend the first week getting to know the neighborhood and the city. Apparently we live really close to the subway connections that lead directly to the center so everything is maximum 30 minutes away from us, which is pretty sweet.
Last thursday we went to the weekly couchsurf meeting where we met a lot of people from all over the world who now live in Vienna. They gave us a lot of practical information and some job-hunting tips, definitely going again next week!
The next day it was time to Hitchhike to Stadt Haag, where we worked at a small festival for the weekend. We got free entree, a place to sleep, food and drinks in exchange for a few hours of work in the kitchen and at the entrance. Met a lot of great people there and had a good time in general. As always with festivals it takes some time to recover from them and after 12 hours of sleep in one night I still feel like I need at least another 12 to fully function again.
The upcoming weeks will be spend job-hunting and keep on exploring this awesome city. Of course I will try to update here as much as possible so make sure to check the blog every now and then.

Till next time!
