Name of Shop: Bignet Internet Cafes
Bignet telecommunication service provides public internet access throughout Austria (e.g., internet cafes, internet kiosks and internet PCs).
What To Buy: The only thing you are buying here is internet access. The one we visited near Karlsplatz (1st District) had 34 workstations, scanner/web cam capabilities, adobe tryout workstation, fax, 4 discount phone boxes and served snacks as well as drinks (beer included).
What To Pay: It was kind of expensive...about $6.70 euro (approximately $8.00 (USD) per hour), but the access to the internet was fantastic.

Name of Shop: Spar Gourmet Grocery Store
Since we were staying in a furnished apartment, we decided to do our shopping at the local food store. This was a great idea because eating in restaurants for breakfast. lunch and dinner could get quite expensive.
What To Buy: Since we already had cookies, M & M's, cheese, butter, sandwich meat, jam/jelly, laundry detergent and mineral water in the apartment, we shopped for the following items: Vollmilch ($0.95 euro) Coca Cola ($1.19 euro) Zwettler Beer ($0.79 euro) Stiegl Beer ($.082 euro) Weizenbier ($0.94 euro) Toilet Paper ($2.19 euro) Fleischknödel ($1.39 euro) Mushrooms ($0.69 euro) Bread ($1.69 & $2.29 euro) Morartkugeln ($4.69 euro) Ritter Sport Chocolate Candy ($0.79 euro) Ice Wine ($11.99 euro)
What To Pay: It depends on what you purchase...we paid anywhere from $0.69 euro for mushrooms to $11.99 euro for wine.

What excellently written and informative tips on Vienna. I particularly like the restaurant tips, although, to be frank, they are more like restaurant reviews! Great job. fergy. | bugalugs Sat Aug 27, 2005 15:35 UTC
Sounds a fantastic trip, the restaurant meals didnt seem as expensive as I thought they would be in Austria. I have heard of restaurants where you pay what you think the meal is worth, good job Wayne does do that with my cooking I would be skint hahaha | alusru Thu Aug 18, 2005 13:40 UTC
Wow, so much information of Vienna! That's a great job! Thank you for these wonderful compliments in your writing. Hugs and kisses from Vienna, Ursula | themajor Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:08 UTC
Ah Vienna! I only wish I could afford to move there...although if that 'pay what you want' restaurant is still going strong, perhaps I can! |
