Dines had gotten the 2 room (living + bed) + kitchen + bath + WC + entry
hall + storage room apartment with balcony, facing west, Obere
Donaustraße 21/3/9 (4th floor). through the Austrian
universities' apartment agency (Austrian Exhange Service). At 990
for the month it was reasonable. It is close to the Vienna inner city,
facing the Donau Kanal and the Alsergrund, i.e., the 9th district,
Kari often walked in to the inner city. My work day, after breakfast,
started with a brisk walk, some 400 meters taking the footbridge
across the Kanal,
right in front of the apartment complex, to the
#U4 underground, then 8 mins. train travel, emerging up the
escalator to the Karls Platz, and there, right in front of you is the
Karls Kirsche and the 1823 main building of the TU. From the trees
along the Kanal, leaves just coming out, to the 18th century Baroque
church -- what a day to start and end the work day !
