the city of arts. ViEnNa. wei-ye-na in chinese. before anything. let me share something with you. there was a story i watched on a series during school time. there was this pretty young lady, Lydia who played piano all her life. her dad wanted nothing more than sending her to vienna to do music. she met him. he was a rebellious kid. she fell for him. dad tried to stop by forcing her to vienna. she ran away in the airport. she ran to him. she started a total new different life with the boy. she wasnt touching any piano keys anymore but always dealing with his wounds from his fights. stuffing herself everyday with worries that he might be slashed apart at any second. her right hand was injured bcos of him. she couldnt play piano again. Oh man, i would have js ran to the beautiful vienna.somtimes in life, you have to walk further n when u look back, those things that matter so much once to u, just dont anymore. well. youth is certainly full of stupidities at times.
ok. i have been procastinating my winter trip blog. it has been ages. i am basically sticking to the laptop screen watching nonsense and all. i just couldnt be very bothered to do this. so now im blogging using what is remained in my brain cells after so many ages passed.
well i finished the horryfying CAT. instead of sitting around doin nothing i might as well js do this. since my personal photographer koay beetee had been chasing me to upload his fav piece of work---> I SERIOUSLY don think the pic below is any exciting. the photographer mr koay is realli proud that he could capture how i was touching the tip of Rathaus (city council of vienna city). like really touching the tip. but why is the mr koay so insistent tat its the pic of the trip? I DON UNDERSTAND.
so vienna. it was realli cold. so cold the pond froze! it was a bit freaky to walk on it. i was worried the ice might just break at any point i didnt wanna go further. but this random european guy at the side was giving me encouragement. he couldnt really speak english but he was giving me this gesture like "heyy i am this big, i am much heavier n the ice didnt break, go on you!" well it was freezing cold i couldnt afford to get wet at that point. so tats as far as i would go. like a meter away from the edge lol. Neptune well looked prettier with ice than water.
welcome to the palace! i think i stil lov the sleepin beauty's palace in the disneyland. pink and happy.
walking up the hills to Gloriette. it was a bright happy day. upon request. jump!
up at the gorgeous Gloriette. the sun was shining somehow. it helped with the brutal coldnes. a bit. sunsine is always more appreciated here in the western land. and with 10layers of clothing(realli!!!), i think i don need the tonnes of sunblock i use during summer.
it was so freezy i had to walk into this parliament building just to steal a bit of warmth. well spent a bit of time playing with their high-tech computers which explained the history of the country n stuff. not very interested in tat. well quite nice in there.
new hafburg. residence of kings and emporors. u have the spanish riding school here as well. so, if you have to be careful with cars in the UK, u maybe hav to watch out the horses in vienna. they are just everywhere. i mean, everywhere. at one point we were crossing the road n mr koay was shouting "HEYYY WATCH OUT THE CAR!" omg we were almost knocked down by a few horses which were marching towards us. tat was hilarious. watch out the car? horses! i laughed till my tears were out. the horses were kinda scary when they were tat near. and they were marching on like they wouldnt have stopped for us. i wonder wad would have happened if we were like a bit slower in crossing the road.
state opera. not really expensive to go in. like 4euro for a tour. but a realli quick one tho. but to see a real opera costs a fortune. had a look at the back stage. u will be surprised to see how many people are qorking with the background changing and costumes. HUGE.
state opera musuem. meet our board of honourable conductors!!!!!!
one the most class city halls. its being repainted so its kinda half white top and half balck bottom. looked more like a snow-covered building. i lov the view.
vienna is stereotypically beautiful and classic. its like a fairy tale land. so, lets js look at another part of the city. OMG a donkey!!!!!!!!!!! such a poor thing. the master brought it around so people can have a ride n he can make a living. i mean, who wil want to ride on that poor little thing?
wiener riesenrad (vienna giant wheel) at the entrance of prater amusement park. mmm. its on like every postcard. its really quite tiny. compared to the one in london, or even the one in manchester. this is really js the size for a theme park. beautiful tho.
come to vienna. if u wanna remind yourself life is worth more to see more to feel more to get to. there are so many magnificient things around waiting for you to explore. walk further. see further.
