It's cool. I'm American and it made me lol. Austria and Vienna are at the top of my 'places to see' list, so next chance I get to travel I'll certainly look you up.

One question - how do English-only speakers get along there?

German is my first language, so I get along really well - but I've a couple of English-only speaking friends, and they seem to stay happy :)

Judging from what I know, there are quite a lot of English-only speakers in Vienna. Most of the young people in Austria speak English - so you won't have any trouble ordering food, going out partying or getting to know people (at least in an age group < 45).

If you plan to move to Vienna and are interested in any technical stuff, you should definably check out the Metalab to meet some people - I believe 90% of the people there are able to speak English (some are English-only speakers) and they might also help you meet other English-speaking people..
