Dan has the camera now, so I can't upload any pictures. So, I thought I'd do a quick post about our new Bookmarked Websites. (If you open these up in Google Chrome or Microsoft Explorer, they automatically translate it from Deutsch to English...)
- Google Translate - I basically use this all the time. To translate paperwork or to interpret a note from Worthy's teacher. I type in the message and it spits out the English.
- WienerLinien - This is the site for the public transportation in the city. It's been tremendously helpful. We just type in our destination address and it lets us know which U-bahn (metro) and S-bahn (tram) lines to take. A true lifesaver.
- SCS - Shopping Centre Sud. Enough said... Tis the Season, eh? :)
- Weather.com - Ok, so this isn't a new bookmark, but we've changed the location and we actually check it since the forecast is no longer "82F and sunny with a 20% chance of rain". For us there has been a difference between manageable cold and don't-go-out cold.
- New City Wien - This is our church's website address. And we've actually had a busy week with church events, etc. (hoping to blog more about that shortly).
- IKEA - A great place for Apartment furniture!
- Freecycle - Believe it or not, there is actually a Freecycle for Vienna! As I type, Dan is out picking up a FREE lamp, clock radio and mixer. Tomorrow we've arranged to get a wardrobe and some more lamps! Yeah!
I love that you have freecycle in Vienna. That is pretty fabulous!
