Living with your parents is a cost related thing. Especially when you are still in education, i.e. as student, living in an own apartment/flat comes with its own costs which you need to finance first. It also depends on the home. I have a friend who's parents own a big house and as he is his parents only child he will inherit the house at one point. The house is large enough for his parents and can easily fit him and his girlfriend as well without having to step on each others toes. I also know a lot of people who don't want to take a credit to finance an own home as this usually puts you into the burden of not only paying back that loan over time but also pay additional interests. I've seen families go into bankruptcy because of credits they at one point couldn't pay back further as they lost their jobs and so forth. In regards to cooking. I know how to cook but usually I don't like it that much as it requires some time to prepare, shop and what not. Time that I can usually spend on other things that are more important to me at the moment. Cooking nowadays is more of a life-style thing. For me personally a slice of bread, some meat and some veggies are enough for dinner but I know lots of people who celebrate their cooking time. To everyone their own. Yes, there are subsidized flats usually owned either in cities hands or in a so called Genossenscahft (collective) which must not do building projects for profit purposes, but, even as Austrian you may have to wait for years to get an offer. You may decline the first offer but as soon as you decline the second offer you're done. No more "Gemeindewohnung" for you then. People are usually queued based on a scoring-system. If you have 2 kids, no men i.e. you get queued before a male as the urgency to provide a home for the kids is higher compared to a man. Good friends of mine enlisted their son at the age of 16 for a Gemeindewohnung. Now at the age of 25 he still hasn't received any offer from the Gemeinde Wien and he's currently checking his options as he want to move out but as he's still a student (not finished his studies yet) his parents agreed to add the missing amount to his rent unless it is super expensive. The Arbeitsmarktservice (AMS; labor mediation service) is also something that I would only use as the last fallback in terms of finding a job. I only had to interact with them twice so far as I asked for "Bildungskarenz" (education leave) and the last time when I finished my studies and had to wait for 2 months till I could start at my new job. They were always unfriendly and unsupportive and literally demanded to take part in an English beginner course for those two month so that I don't appear in any job-less statistics. The people who were put with me in that course mostly tried to just sit off their time until they can retire completely. Only one or two really took this course to actually learn English and even the teacher was an Indian even I had at times difficulties to understand. During my education leave I had to come by every like 2 month and show the results of my lectures, which I had way more ECTS than I actually needed and at one point my adviser asked me where all of my job applications are that I had to write. There was never a hint that I had to apply for jobs during an education leave. That also bypasses any logic for that system. Rest assured that any jobs you find through AMS will only pay minimum wage as there the companies know that the people desperately need that job and can therefore go down with their payments. I'd say if you look for a job rather use kariere(dot)at or depending on your qualification some hangouts in universities or technical platforms. No, we don't call our parents with our first names. Never heard anything like that. Not sure though if foster homes here might be different though. I still call my mom "Mama" or "Mutti". We usually call close friends by our first name only or if we want to mock someone, like talking about a teacher in his absence. Even close relatives usually get a synonym instead of their real first name, like i.e. "Mitzi-Tante", "Onkel Rudi" or something like that. If you have to file an official document and own a particular academic title you need to add that as this becomes officially part of your name. Of course, if you try to brag with your title at university level everybody will just laugh at you. It is important to know that there are various levels of titles. Academic titles like doctor (Dr.), Magister/Migistra (Mag.) Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.Ing.) and Bachelor (Bacc) where except for the last one all need to be prepended and thus become part of the name. Bacc is an exception to this and does not really need to be added but if so it needs to follow your name not prepend it, i.e. Max Mustermann, Bacc.. Then there are a lot of job-titles like Professor, Oberstudienrat, Ingenieur, Kaufmann, Kommerzialrat which are applied based on your profession and experience and a certain payment. These titles are not officially part of your name though even though they are prepended. I'd say usually we Austrians are quite reserved. We value our privacy and getting to know us more usually requires some language skills. Especially older generations might not be able to speak English well enough or at all, i.e. my parents don't, which would make it way harder for me to bring home friends that don't speak German well enough. Some might also have the ressentiment that black people in Austria are either refugees or drug dealers for the most part, which is not true, but a certain political party explicitly plays with that fear and picture. In the words of "Avenue Q" - "Everyone's a little bit racist". There will always be people around who blame others for their misfortune or bad luck, about their downhill situation and what not. Partly also political agendas motivate such idiocrasy, i.e. when they claim that black people are mostly drug dealing criminals that came here to rob "our" people. Sadly, fear is and was always a good mean to unite people against "the others". These people often lack the understanding and also the willingness to educate themselves as such probably not even telling them on the situation in Kenia or other parts of the world may really change their picture. They just see their sad life and blame their situation onto others instead of self-reflecting what they could have done better in the past and what they could do to change it. For such racial comments I'd simply say ignore them or go to the police and report such idiots. I think treating people by their actions is way more important than by their religion, skin color or origin. And I have to admit, your hair does look very interesting as it is so different from what we can see everyday on the streets :) People asking you about your hair are therefore just curious.
I dont like the last part of your comment, but its right that we dont call our parents by the first name. That has to be a special group that does so. Or the mom is a stepmom.
