Austria

On Monday June 27th, I leave for Austria. I am going there for work. I design boilers. I will be going there to verify some piping routes. I will be flying into Vienna. The plant is in a city called Pols. I will be staying in both cities.

My questions are, had anyone every been to Austria? I have never been out of the country, an suggestions, tips, tricks? Anything advice would be appreciated.

 

go with an open mind and a spirit of excitement

never been, but as you can probably gather I had travelled about a bit
should be a great experience, hope you enjoy yourself

in the mean time, some phrase books would be good
Im 100% certain English will be extremely well used

but a few phrases in Austrian, such as please and thank you etc
will certainly help with any relationship building you need to do there

Thanks Steve. I thought after I sent this, when will you chime in? Haha. I am very excited about the trip. I will have some down time to do some site seeing. Plus I get to climb around a boiler (love my job).

Very awesome, hope you have a great camera & a computer to download tons and tons of pics to!

 

I have a great camera and a laptop both that my work gave me. The camera they gave me is awesome. I put some updated pics of my tank using the same camera, see link http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/tank-crashed-new-setup-w-pics-94837-13.html

I am very excited.

 

It is a beautiful country and the people are fantastic. I have never been there personally but I have a friend who lives there. Have fun!!!;D

 

Thats what I hear. I will have some awesome pictures for my friends here at the 3reef community.

I have one question I am trying to understand....Thats electrical. I will be charging two cell phones (one mine, other works) camera, laptop. I also have an electric razor and toothbrush. Do I need just an adapter, or an adapter with a transformer? I went to radio shack today, the guy told me he needs a list of all the eletric equip with there voltages. Can someone provide some insight on this topic?

 

Austria (Österreich) is nice country. There are a lot of beautiful castles. You should visit the Schonbrunn Palace, the palaces and castles of Austria are among the country's top tourist attractions. I was used to live in Germany around 6 years, you can travel by car to another country in couple hours. I love the Den Haag, Scheveningen beach in Holland if you have chance to visit there. I have been there many times since I lived around 2-3 hours.

Will research this for sure, thanks for link. Can you provide some insight on my electrical question?
