Canadian in Wien for a 6 month internship Hallo r/wien!
I'm a Canadian PhD student from Toronto starting a 6month research internship at a large pharmaceutical company next week. The company has helped me get set up with an affordable place in district 23, which is ~40 minute walk to the job site. A couple of questions for my fellow redditors and welcome any other words of wisdom!
* Where can I purchase a SIM card for my phone for either a prepaid or cheap cell/data plan?
* I'm looking to find a cheap bike to get me to and from work. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy one?
* Whats the situation with metro passes? Can I purchase a monthly pass, or is the only option the year-long pass?
* The Rugby world cup starts in a week! Are there any pubs in my area that I should look for that would have the games?
Thanks in advance! Everyone one I've talked to seems to hold Wien in high regard so I'm sure these next 6 months will be blast. Cheers
