Vienna, the City of Music

Assalamualaikum,

Hai how are you everybody? Good? I hope you really are! Eh, pejam celik pejam celik, bila tengok calendar tadi, terpaku kejap. Dah nak hujung February rupanya? Ya Allah cepatnya masa berjalan. Can somebody help me to freeze the time please? I desperately need more hours in a day, more days in a month, and more and more months in a year. Tapi kan, I rasa kalau dapat extra pun tetapppp rasa tak cukup jugak. Kan? ;)

Ha, perasan tak lately ni blog ni dah jadi travelogue pulak? It was once a personal blog of an innocent international student struggling with her research at the land down under. Then lepas kawen, this space had evolved into a food blog tak kira la masak sendiri ke, review restaurants ke, tapi banyak pasal makanan la. And then now, it has been flooded with traveling stories one after another. Caca marba sungguh orang Penang kata! haha.

Korang bosan tak asyik baca pasal cerita jenjalan je? Tuan tanah sendiri dah bosan macam mana ni? hahaha. But I still have a long list to go. T___T Kalau tak tulis rasa sayang, because for the past 5 years, most of my precious memories (bitter & sweet ) were beautifully carved in here. Esok-esok kalau dah tua nak baca balik kenangan zaman dolu-dolu, sini lah tempatnya yang boleh refer. Amboi justification tak agak. :p

Last weekend I didn't go anywhere that far. Too tired for another long distance trip right after Rome. But we went to Vienna instead. hahaha. Dalam tak pegi mana tu ada jugak mencelah pegi berjalan walaupun dekat. Ye la, rasa rugi pulak kalau duduk saja tak pegi mana-mana. We must fully utilize our time while we are still here. Takmau nanti dah balik Malaysia baru nak menyesal.

The famous Schonbrunn Palace.
Summer palace for the royals during Roman Empire.

Extremely hugeeeee. Ni baru bangunan utama. Kiri kanan tu ada lagi.
Dalam istana pun boleh pakai gps agaknya. :p

So, knowing Vienna (or the locals call it Wien) as the capital city of Austria, you can get almost everything there. Bangunan dia semua nampak classic with a slight of modern touch here and there makes the city appears to be very classy as it is. The well structured metropolis somehow reminds me so much of my favourite city, Melbourne in Australia, but in a little different way of course.

Cuba cari midget kat dalam ni? hahahaha.
My husband made me posed like this for a freaking 10 seconds because he accidentally pressed the self timer button.
T________T

Ohh by the way, Vienna is also listed under UNESCO in the category of "City of Music" where everyone knows music has become one of Vienna's greatest legacies. Kenal Mozart? Beethoven? Brahms? (and the list goes on). Haa, they are the legendary musical prodigies yang menghasilkan banyak karya agung diorang dekat kota Vienna. But, psst, I personally don't really know how to appreciate those kind of music. Korang rasa sedap ke? hahaha.

The very popular State of Opera. Mozart semua tu penah kerja kat sini.

At the side entrance of the Opera House. Macam dalam istana kan?
Kalau main entrance laaaagi cantik.

Okay lah, cerita banyak pun nanti korang bosan (padahal I yang bosan hahaha), I better let the pictures do the talking instead. Mana tau ada sesapa yang nak datang Vienna nanti ada lah jugak gambaran sikit-sikit macam mana rupa tempat ni ye dak? :)

You may find this all around the city. 1-hour ride is free.
Lepas tu sejam satu Euro.

Techniques Museum Wien.
Bangunan muzium teknikal pun ala-ala istana kan.

Jalan raya yang sangat lebar. There are special lanes for pedestrian and also for bicycle.

Calm and comfort city.

Have you ever found any Bentley simply parked by the road side?
I found one in Vienna! :)

Danube River (Europe very own version of Amazon)
Sungai terpanjang dalam Europe yang merentasi 6 negara.

Swan feeding.

A perfect place for family outing.

Night market.

That's a little bit of everything about Vienna.

A city with less adventure but definitely worth to explore.

See you next time people!

Assalamualaikum. :)
