Hi, no I'm not being transfered! But I consider looking for a job in Wien and move there. No particularly reason except that the culture scene interests me a lot and I would like a taste of central Europe. It may sounds a little strange that I just want to move to another country like that but nothing is impossible. I have allready done this, I moved from the UK with just a degree from the university to Stockholm without knowing anyone, without knowing a word in Swedish, and no job. I just had booked an apartment through internet for 4 months. Now after 3 years I speak fluently Swedish, and I've got a job as an engineer...and bought an apartment...so...why not go on and get to know some other places ;-)I can't stop thinking of Vienna!!
