Might be offered job in Vienna and would really appreciate advice from you guys about districts and bilingual schools
i may soon have an opportunity to relocate to Vienna. But the 2 key areas of concern for me are :
Schooling for my sons (5 and 8).
The decision on which district to live in
i guess the choice of school would certainly impact the choice of which area i live, so lets start there. I need a bilingual public school. My kids are English speakers, so the German-based normal public school won't be feasible. and the "international" schools cost a fortune, so that rules them out.
do you have any advice on a good bilingual school and a good family neighborhood nearby ?
thanks!

TIL: Beethoven was paid 4,000 florins a year from 1809 on the condition that he remained in Vienna for the rest of his life. This allowance was originally paid by three patrons but after the death of Princes Lobkowitz and Kinsky, Archduke Rudolph paid the amount in full until Beethoven died. beethoven.de/sixcms/list.…
TIL at the start of the 1539 siege of Vienna by the Ottomans, their leader, Suleiman I, was so sure of his victory that he boasted that he would be having breakfast in Vienna cathedral within 14 days. 14 days later, the Austrians sent him a letter, telling him his breakfast was getting cold. explorethearchive.com/aus…
Dunno if this counts. Moved to a bigger place three weeks ago with a family of four and this is my favorite corner. Everything else is still so messy. 🙈 Vienna, Austria

1 of 3World War 2 fortification in Vienna called FlakTurme. Huge concrete bunkers with anti-aircraft guns. They are about 54 meters high consisting of 4 meter thick walls. Too costly to tear down so they are abandoned like this one or repurposed for things such as an aquarium or climbing wall.

Which graves have you visited? Hopefully not too morbid of a topic. This is Beethoven's grave in Vienna. I'd stroll there every once in a while and listen to his music in my head by his grave.

I can't watch the final episode of Game of Thrones at the moment it airs, because I'll be on a plane to Vienna for a vacation.
I am not proud of my Saint 14's Gray Pigeon. Given the amazing lore behind it, I should be. I was proud of my Vienna Singer, my Fatebringer, and every shader and ship I got from raiding. (Expansion on this thought below)
What a missed opportunity.
Imagine: I kill folks in PVP or PVE and I get a quest. I kill 250 of every race and 100 in PVP inside a bubble to unlock a story mission for Saint 14's ship. I'd be proud of that ship. I wouldn't do every class's equivalent, but many players would.
I got the ship of SAINT 14 (one of the coolest character in the Destiny lore) from a god damn loot box. That sucks. People saw my Vienna Singer and knew I ran that mission a thousand times, which I did. People who see my Pigeon will assume I gave Bungie money or I got a lucky roll on a bright engram. That is not impressive.
