Things to miss

I need to go to Vienna. I need it on a level that's almost physical. That city has something magical, just being there makes me feel twenty years younger. It's so much like home - the two places were built as the twin capitals of the good old Monarchy, after all - and yet everything seems easier, friendlier, more... cultured there.

Of course, the fact that their local problems don't really concern me on a personal level does add to the feeling of easines. But beyond that, it's still the source of good sci-fi DVDs, even though a lot less so than earlier. Still a hundred per cent more to get there than back here.

Thank God spring break will come relatively early this year. I'm ready to go on the first available day.

Oh, I can so understand you!! I visited Vienna 3 years ago - mostly because my sister asked me to accompany her on her vacation. I didn't have any special expectations... I was not prepared at all for the effect this city had on me!! I still dream about it... I have to go back in the not so distant future. (But I promised myself London first, because I haven't been there for much longer, and I want to see some things I missed last time)

I'm glad you'll have a chance to get away to Vienna sooner rather than later! Sometimes one's soul needs the spirtual recharge it gets from visiting a beloved place.

Vienna's still like an unimaginable dream to me. Actually, so is Budapest. My friend has told me several times that it's a beautiful city. *sigh* I can't wait until I have a job again.

I'm happy for you that you'll get to visit Vienna soon!

Who is the handsome guy from your icon? It seems to me like I should know his name, but I just can't figure out who he is.

Ah yes, time in a beloved place is always good for the soul. I think I'm due for some time back in the Pacific Northwest.

Or else it's time to get a dog again. Hard to say which does my soul more good...

When I come to visit, I look forward to seeing Vienna through your eyes!
