Life in Vienna: what disadvantages of the Austrian capital struck a Ukrainian woman.

According to ТСН: A woman from Ukraine, who has been living in Vienna for three years, shared her experience of living in the Austrian capital and talked about some difficulties she could not come to terms with.

Despite the fact that Vienna is considered 'the most comfortable city in Europe', reality has its own peculiarities, as the blogger notes.

Payment problems: “The card doesn’t work everywhere”

One of the biggest problems for the Ukrainian woman became unexpected difficulties with cashless payments. In many establishments in Vienna, only cash is accepted or a minimum amount is required for card payments.

“The worst part is when you are not warned about this. You have already eaten, want to pay — and then you find out that you need to look for an ATM”

Service that “surprises”

The Ukrainian woman also noted that the service, in her opinion, does not correspond to the prices and status of the city. She pointed out that waiters are often unfriendly, menus and restrooms look unkempt, and hot food is sometimes quite tasteless.

Despite this, such establishments continue to be popular among local residents.

“Country of retirees”: resistance to change

Another problem highlighted by the blogger is the reluctance of Austrians to change and digitization. Many people prefer that everything stays in its old place.

“Here they do not strive for progress. People live as they are used to and do not want to change anything — they feel comfortable as it is”

It should be noted that earlier a Ukrainian blogger revealed the strange rules of South Korea.

This review from the Ukrainian woman about life in Vienna demonstrates the problems that immigrants may face in a new country. Despite the city’s reputation as a comfortable place to live, small details, such as service in restaurants or difficulties with cashless payments, can significantly affect the overall impression. This also shows how important it is to adapt to new conditions, as well as to pay attention to the cultural and social differences that can be discovered in everyday life.
