Buying meat from street stands.  :yuk:

It's not a street stand. It's a daily grocery market, like there are several in Vienna. Some sell fresh meat, some sell fresh vegetables, or other stuff. Many offer lamb or chicken kebabs or sausages or balkans food to go or sit.

It's like this, but much smaller:

Well, for what I pay for my current 40 sq meter appartment I could probably rent a penthouse in Warsaw, but unfortunately, prices are different in Vienna. And there's not many areas who will not have a fair amount of Muslims, as 7-10% of Viennese are following Islam (1/4 is without religion, less than half are Cathoholics).

I doubt anyone in the priesthood of any organized, conservative religion would approve of your lifestyle choices, Marcinek.

Err, that's pretty much my point, idiot. I don't want my money to go to these people, so I won't pay a dime for anything that's certified as "kosher" or "halal".

You don't really have a point. You're just bitching as usual. I dare say there are probably a great many things you buy that help finance people who would object to you personally. For personal or political reasons if not religious, so your approach is ineffective.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

I somewhat doubt it. I believe Warsaw was recently declared one of the more expensive capitals of the EU when it comes to property prices and rents.

Just out of curiosity, how much are you paying? (If you don't mind sharing this).

I was of course slightly facetious. Depending on part of town you can expect 15-25 EUR/apartment square meter (including taxes and "side costs" - garbage, usually heating lump sum, water, but not power), depending on part of town. I pay less. My district has over 40% immigrants (people without Austrian citizenship or born outside Austria; the statistic does not count children of immigrants with Austrian apssport). City average is 33% with lowest districts having 20%.

I sell shrimp out of a truck.

A co-worker in Germany used to do that. 5 EUR/plastic shopping bag.

Well, you are an immigrant too, so fit right in.  :P

Yes. :P

According to official statistics, in 2008 there were 545,000 immigrants in the city (out of 1.6 million).

By origin, the 10 largest countries are:
- Serbia/Montenegro (110,000)
- Turkey (75,000)
- Germany (40,000)
- Poland (38,800)
- Bosnia-Herzegovina (31,000)
- Czech Rep. (20,000)
- Croatia (19,000)
- Romania (16,000)
- Hungary (13,000)
- Macedonia (10,000)

To get an accurate picture of walking down a street in my neighbourhood you have to remember that many second generation (sometimes third generation) immigrants speak their parent's language in everyday conversation with friends. In fact I hear Turkish now from the kids in the soccer cage across the street.
