Vienna Trip - Cafe

Vienna Trip - Movie Theater

I went to see a movie "PS. I Love You" with my tango friend Antonino De Leo tonight. The movie theater is the smallest one I've ever seen. The total seats are just around 50 in one single room.

在不同國家觀看電影,也是我在旅行中喜歡嘗試的活動,今天和一位義大利探戈朋友相約去看美國電影, 因為我只聽的懂英文,票價是每人8歐元, 戲院真的很小,我去的這家戲院一共有6個廳, 每個廳僅能容納大約50個位子,是我去過最小的戲院

Vienna - Lunch at Bernhard's family's place

Home-made food is always my favorite try whenever I travel. Many thanks to Bernhard's parents for inviting me to lunch and having such a wonderful local Austrian meal.
旅行時最愛嘗的便是當地人的家常菜,很開心Bernahrd請我去他父母的家中和他們全家人一起用餐,奧地利人真的很熱情,Bernhard的母親不斷的告訴我,她有多開心我能到他家去作客,讓我這異鄉遊子感到非常窩心與貼心,每道菜都十分美味可口

Vienna Trip - Schonbrunn

維也納的大眾運輸工具十分方便,只要搭U4,便可以到達在郊區的Schonbrunn,隨然今天的天氣非常好,但是溫度只有攝氏3度,全身包的密不通風還是感覺有寒意

The Vienna Ball at Hofburg (3)

It took me almost 3 hours to walk through all of the rooms. There are many different dance halls with live music, lounges, cafe bars, restaurants.
這個舞會的場地實在是大的驚人,我大概花了三小時才全部走完,有大小不同現場音樂伴奏的舞池,各式的bar,餐廳,每間的佈置都是美崙美奐,各有不同的風味,音樂也十分多元,除了傳統的華爾茲,也有爵士,拉丁音樂,佛朗明哥..等,根據我的觀察,懂的配合不同音樂而跳舞的舞客並不多,大多只是隨性的"自由式舞蹈",大部分的人都只和自己隨行的舞伴或朋友跳舞,單獨出席的我,並沒有任何男士來邀舞,慘!!!!!!!!







































I'm the only one who wears traditional Asian dress
我是現場唯一穿著亞洲傳統服飾的女姓

If ladies would like to have perfect make-up, come to this room....
其中一個房間有提供專業化妝的服務,好多愛美的女士都來此

The Vienna Ball at Hofburg (2)

The performance at main dance hall
整個舞會的序幕是由幾位奧地利的政商名人的致詞開始,而後由數十位的年輕男女在現場管絃樂團的伴奏下,翩翩起舞優雅的華爾茲,表演完畢後,現場賓客也都紛紛進入舞池共舞

The Vienna Ball at Hofburg (1)

I've heard so many good things about the Vienna Ball. The first thing in my plan to Vienna is to attend the Ball. Many tahnks to my good frend Bernhard who help me to purchase the ticket. Finally my dream comes true. Ready to go for the Vienna Ball.
維也納除了音樂會和歌劇外,舞會也是非常的有名,很多日本女生會組團來參加,把參加維也納舞會當成畢生的夢想,她們不但會帶專屬的造型設計師,還會事前訂製禮服,讓自己很體面的出席. 很幸運地,我有機會能參加當地最盛大而且頗享盛名的維也納舞會,出席者大多是奧地利人,地點在Hofburg(總統府),所有的賓客能藉此參觀到平常不會開放的禁區,據電視報導,有超過6000人前來參加這場盛宴,非常感謝我的朋友Bernhard幫我購買門票(90歐元)
劉佬佬要進大觀園了!!!!!!!出發......


















I felt like in the movie when I first walked in the Vienna Ball.
走入會場時,讓我有如於電影情節般的虛幻不真實,走在滿舖的紅色地毯,置身於古色古香的歐洲傳統建築,環繞在盛裝出席的眾紳士淑女間,我的行為舉止都不自覺地端莊起來












All kinds of desserts現場有販賣各式各樣的精美甜點













When I walked in the ball, I got a free fan. At the exit, every woman could get a free gift bag with coffee cup and small bottle of alcohol.
要進入會場時,有工作人員發放給每位女士一之扇子,離開舞會時,所有女賓客還可以拿到一份精美禮物 (小巧的咖啡杯和迷你酒瓶)

Vienna Trip

Stuck in Frankfurt Airport for 9 hours

Dur to bad weather, my flight from Frankfurt to Vienna got delayed and then canceled. Poor me arrived at 4:45AM. I was so exhausted with jet-lag. Finally I could be on-board and fly to Vienna at 1:30PM.
因為風太強,法蘭克福機場縮減航班,我原本要搭乘的飛機先是延誤,最後被取消掉, 由於諸多因素,我被迫奔走於不同terminal的德航櫃檯,以便能拿到新航班的機票,時差加上飢餓,真的是累斃了,我早上四點四十五分抵達,一直到下午一點半才撘上飛機,只有吃chips和可樂,果腹,把張愛玲的半生緣讀完,抵達維也納已經是下午三點,三十個小時沒有睡覺了,真想躺在床上好好休息,晚上還要參加Hofburg的維也納舞會,我真是要當女超人才行......
