[rosenkranz-isnt-dead]

top 5 sisi and 5 der tod :))

yay thanks!!

5. Vágó Bernadett and Máté Kamarás (putting his name before his surname bc I'm used to it, I'm sorry hungarians). green der Tod (or a Halál I suppose) with sparkles has bewitched me body and soul

4. Reika Manaki and Ryo Tamaki from 2018 Takarazuka production. I admit I haven't seen this particular cast I just like this cunty Death a lot

also I love Takarazuka's version of Die Maladie. that doctor's bedside manner is very peculiar

3. Pia Douwes and Stanley Burleson from Scheveningen 1999. this was the first and for many years the only black man cast as der Tod so I can't not include him. also his red velvet costume is so pretty

2. Maya Hakvoort and Máté Kamarás. of course. of course! Vienna 2005 was the first production I watched and Kamarás with his manic pixie dream girl energy just knocked it out of the park. it took me a few more years to properly appreciate Maya but now that I'm old and wise I love her very much

1. Pia Douwes and Uwe Kröger. always. Vienna, Essen, Berlin, concerts, you name it. they're sooo! especially Pia. I need a t-shirt that says I ♥️ dutch milfs

bonus: Ock Joo-hyun is sooo cool in every role, including Elisabeth, but I don't really care for that k-pop star der Tod, sorryy

Fanfic trope tier list

[fitzrove]

The true logic behind the "kitschification" of Elisabeth Schönbrunn

After hanging out in Vienna for a few days, I feel like a lot of Elisabeth Schönbrunn makes sense to me in a way it didnt before. But this is not a compliment... XD

To put it simply, it feels like a catered tourism ad. Like, think about it. There was already so much kitsch potential in the original Elisabeth (actors playing widely mythologised iconic characters in period-accurate costumes straight from the portraits and postcards), and the most cynical critics kinda dismissed it as a tourist trap from the start. But Schönbrunn puts in so much additional touristy kitschiness... Let me make a quick list.

1. The concert experience as a whole

It's a massive outdoor concert in peak holiday/summer season, in the iconic Schönbrunn environment. With the astronomical ticket prices (and the intentionally massive number of seats), I feel like it's intentionally made into a "luxury experience". The target audience is not really musical fans: the target audience is Elisabeth (historical figure) fans, royalists & Habsburg history enthusiasts, tourists in Vienna and people who don't usually go for that sort od thing but want to be immersed in history in the real historical location, with famous actors, famous costumes and catchy music. Idk, I think this became apparent to me when I encountered somewhat pushy concert ticket merchants at the entrances to the Hofburg and Schönbrunn, with little details given about what exactly would be performer at the concert. It was very generic. And with Elisabeth Schönbrunn too, you aren't really paying for the content of the experience or to see the art - you're paying for the experience itself. Of course, there are tons of advance bookings made for the Schönbrunn concert (in fact I doubt you can get tickets the day of, given the very short runs), so perhaps this theory doesn't entirely hold up, but still.

2. The postcard projections

The Schönbrunn stage is surrounded by two big screens with images projected onto them for the audience to see. In addition to providing closeups for the people sitting too far away to see much otherwise, they show real historical pictures (maps, photographs) during transitions between songs. Now, VBW tends to like projections in their other musical productions too lol, but while wandering in Vienna I realised that many of the images projected at Schönbrunn are sold as postcards - at the Schönbrunn souvenir shop. This could be chalked up to intentional irony (like during Kitsch and Neues Sortiment, obviously it's an extension of Lucheni's whole thing), but sometimes it does seem to happen genuinely (like during Die Ersten Vier Jahre iirc).

3. The carriage

When I went to the Hofburg and saw the horse carriages leaving from the front with tourists aboard (120 euros per ride), I had a moment of recognition. It was exactly like when FJ and Sisi rode in at the beginning of the second act of Schönbrunn. This is what first got me thinking about Schönbrunn being a giant tourist ad for the "Habsburg Vienna experience" XD Now, idk if I'm being a conspiracy theorist by saying it's an intentional ad, but it does seem a bit suspicious on that front... I should check if the carriage operating company sponsored them.

4. Tod

Schönbrunn Tod is so... generic? The white leather makes him seem almost invisible, in a way. The black leather from 2012 at least had an edge to it, casting a contrast between him and the historically dressed characters. But the white leather (like Tod himself) is just there, kinda blandly. I feel like it's intentional too. If Tod had more flair (like he had, in some way, in every Viennese production up until this point), it would perhaps feel inappropriate to the target audience of Habsburg enjoyers and casual tourists. So he's not queer, not very supernatural, not odd in appearance or demeanor, not even dressed in a particularly eyecatching way. I think it's because the show relies more on the appeal of the Habsburg costume replicas and familiar historical figures than the actual subversive writing gimmick that Michael Kunze created as he created Der Tod - because some people inevitably wouldn't Get It if Tod was less bland. They can't write Tod out for obvious reasons, but they can make him as palatable as possible to a wide, general audience. This is the true reason they got rid of the Mayerling kiss - I'm not sure Tod's role is very clear in the Schönbrunn staging at all, so some people in the audience wouldn't be able to appreciate his monstrous, all-consuming, equal-opportunity nature (which is at its most visible in the Mayerling kiss. It's the first and only time we see Tod take someone's life so violently, completely and explicitly. Lol my Mayerling kiss enjoyment is showing.)

So yeah. This might read a bit like a conspiracy theory but to me, it all makes sense now. I get where the choices come from a bit better, but I will never ever accept them. The VBW might want to rake in easy money with the mangled kitschified skeleton of this show, and it probably helps finance their other musical productions quite a bit, but still... I wish they would bring back the horrors... 💔

Comparing Elisabeth's costumes in the Vienna productions of Elisabeth das musical (Act 1)

And I'm back once again to perhaps prove a point, but mainly to pour out some of the frustration. In this post, I'll be comparing the costumes chronologically worn by Elisabeth in the Vienna productions of Elisabeth: the original/1st revival (designed by Reinhard Heinrich; lower refered to as the Heinrich version) and the 2nd revival/Schönbrunn concert (designed by Yan Tax; lower refered to as the Tax version). The Yan Tax design was first used in the 2001 Essen production, but was later carried over into the 2nd revival Vienna production in 2012 and VBW kept on using it since.

I tried to mainly find higher quality photos of all these costumes, but sometimes, I had no luck in doing that. So, at times, I will use a screenshot because nothing else was available. I mainly tried to look for pictures of the 1st revival (circa 2003-2005) and 2nd revival (circa 2012 - 2013), but I will sometimes use pictures from the original production (1992-1996).

Disclaimer: the contents below are my subjective opinion as a student of set and costume design and I will be mainly looking at what the costume tells me within the context and the construction. If you prefer costumes I don't, your opinion is totaly valid and you're welcome to discuss why you think otherwise in reblogs and comments below. :) After each section, I'll try to sum up which of the costumes I liked better and why.

Little Sisi:

Heinrich version: light blue and white trachten/dirndl with a lace apron, hair bow and ribbon choker. Not only fitting her origin as a Bavarian princess, but also sweet with the pastel colors and the accordingly fluffy, but light construction. The costume is girly, but not hindering when is comes to Sisi climbing trees and other physical activities she mentions she likes.

Tax version: short green/brown/orange plaid print dress. Now, this is a historically plausible costume, but do I like it? Absolutely not. The colors and print are ugly and don't fit Sisi's character in the slightest. And with the way the costume has multiple ruffles and pleats, it just makes it too busy to look at. And the skirt is too fluffy for this point in the show. (And they did Abla absolutely dirty with the wig they gave her in 2022 Schönbrunn)

Which is better? Heinrich version all the way. It's sweet and girly, but not too much and I love that it's a trachten/dirndl. The Tax version is just too busy with the plaid and I don't like the colors.

Bad Ischl:

Heinrich version: Dark blue short-sleeved bodice and skirt, matching hair bow and velvet ribbon long choker and bracelets. This costume is directly inspired by what Elisabeth could have worn during this first meeting in Ischl (when she met Franz, she and all her family were in dark mourning dresses, since they didn't have time to change and unlike Helene, who looked washed out in her dark dress, the dark dress really suited Elisabeth). Another little interesting historical detail I noticed here is the choker, which looks like a ribbon choker Elisabeth was mostly depicted wearing during her engagement to Franz. So, awesome that they kept in these little historical details.

Tax version: Long-sleeved bodice and skirt. Now, I've seen this dress in a ton of different fabrics (white with a broad floral trim on the skirt, blue plaid) but I think the most common variant of this costume is this beige one with the orange-red and green pattern. Now, once again, this is a historically more plausible costume, since the meeting took place during the day and so it would be proper for Elisabeth to be covered up, but it doesn't take into account any of the historical happenings. Which just seems to me like the designer didn't do any background research into Elisabeth specifically. And if we're going on pure aesthetic level alone, this dress is so plain and boring.

Which is better? Once again, Heinrich won this. No question needed. And while we're at it, the colorplay the dark dress on Elisabeth offers in Nichts ist schwer is much better that the light dress (We're about to get into lighting here, because that is also important to consider). With the reddish and blue lights for this scene, the dark dress stands out against that very red Habsburg eagle, but the light dress gets a red/pink wash from the lights, which makes Elisabeth almost visually disappear in that scene (see image below). The entire colorplay in the Tax version is simply off for this scene (because the thing that most stands out to me isn't Elisabeth, it's Franz's VERY green knitted socks).

Wedding dress:

Heinrich version: white satin bodice and skirt with silvery translucent overlay, ruffled bertha collar with beaded fringe and puffed translucent sleeves. The amount of soft texture this dress has under the stage lights is so amazing and I really like the choice of sleeve here, since it does remind me of the puffed sleeves she had on her trachten, but this is like a more grown up version. And since the sleeves are translucent and long, it gives Elisabeth the appearance of not fitting in with the court ladies, who all have short sleeves in opaque fabrics . The silvery contrasts look great and the way that white fringe looks like the fringe on Tod's jacket from the Prolog (thus connecting them visually) is *chef's kiss*.

Tax version: white satin button-up bodice with pagoda sleeves and skirt with striped accents. This dress is giving me a whole lot of nothing. Like, there isn't anything eyecatching here. And it makes Elisabeth look kinda dowdy with how covered up she is. And, if they were going for more "historical accuracy", why then put her in a dress that could be classified as daywear (with the long sleeves and the very prominent buttons in the front) if all of the wedding should be taking place in the evening?

Which is better? Heinrich version. The Tax version is too flat and plain for me. If the Heinrich design is proving anything so far, it's that historical accuracy can easily be beaten out with good and purposeful artistic design.

Nightgown:

Heinrich version: structured white nightgown with a slightly raised waistline, broad lace straps and lace trim. Once again, I love the structure the fabric has, it looks soft and romantic under the stage lights. The straps are so characteristic and they make her arms completely bare, thus making her appear vulnerable when facing Sophie and the ladies in waiting.

Tax version: white satin empire waist nightgown with short puffed sleeves. They literally couldn't have picked a thinner and cheaper looking satin for this costume? It literally looks so flimsy, especially since this costume has no texture and no decoration going on. I think the very high empire waistline is also a rather off choice, since it would be very out of fashion during the 1850s and it is a waist placement that often looks awkward on a lot of people. And there are the sleeves. They are very awkwardly short. Especially on the concert costumes, the sleeves literally look like they have 2 cm of an inseam at best.

Which is better? I think this is no surprise, but Heinrich once again gets it.

Stationen eine Ehe:

Heinrich version: White robe with ruffled lace trimmings, long bell-shaped sleeves and a broad light blue sash at the waist. I always love when I see a good nightrobe on stage and this is no exception. The material is delicate and translucent enough to keep Elisabeth looking very vulnerable in this scene, even though she's covered up. And the amount and placement of ruffling is just right. What I also find very interesting is that sash, because that color is so eyecatching (reminds me of a robin's egg) and it really gives the robe a distinct look.

Tax version: Reddish-pink duochrome satin bodice with fake buttons and pagoda sleeves w/ white puffed undersleeves and a matching skirt worn over a circular hoopskirt. Once again, more historically plausable, but it doesn't offer me anything as a costume. By making Elisabeth's silhouette here the same as Sophie and the ladies in waiting and by not giving the fabric any sort of softening embellishments, it removes this vulnerability she should have here. And I don't get why they went for this weird pink shade, because it makes no storytelling sense. And while we're at it, why did they choose to put her in this braided wig here? In real life portraiture, we don't get Elisabeth depicted with her hair in these braided updos up until the mid 1860s. The Heinrich version cleverly went around this by keeping Elisabeth with long loose curls through Act 1 to emphasize her girlishness and naivity, so when we see her with her hair braided up in the portrait reveal, it's this clear visual breaking point for her, showing us how she matured. But in the Tax version, it's a mess when it comes to wigs.

Which is better? Once again, Heinrich takes the cake. I feel like I might be biased, but I just can't find any rhyme and reason in the Tax costumes so far.

Schatten Hungarian dress:

Heinrich version: black and dark blue striped satin bodice with a fake stomacher and puffed sleeves and skirt with a black lace apron. For how little time this costume gets on stage, it is so crucial in this design, since it is both a visual paralel with Elisabeth's Hungarian coronation gown (but here, the silhouette is less mature and it's like a dark version of that dress), but also, this dress is paralelled again in the Mayerling dresses, since Shatten in Act 1 and Mayerling are paralel scenes, where Death takes away one of Elisabeth's children because of her unadvised decisions.

Tax version: same dress as in Stationen eine Ehe, but over it is worn a red velvet atilla with gold cording and brown fur trim and a matching red velvet hat. The atilla looks decently made and the cording does seem ok. This is a much technically easier way how to do this quick costume change, but it's ok. What I don't like here is the hat. It simply looks awkward witch the placement of where it's sitting and that cord in the front doesn't make it better. And once again, I am missing the paralels!

Which is better? I will probably sound like I'm repeating myself, but Heinrich version wins again. You can never beat good paralels and visual connections in costume design.

Elisabeth, mach auf mein Engel:

Heinrich version: Same robe as during Stationen eine Ehe (but this time with a better picture). Still love it here, because this is still supposed to be a vulnerable moment (especially when Death comes in at the end). So by keeping her in this nightgown, which she previously wore at a vulnerable moment, we have an immediate connection of how she feels.

Tax version: White chiffon robe with elbow length sleeves w/ lace engageants and with a train trimmed with lace ruffles, worn over a long pale pink/peach/orange?? satin slip. And we have a dreaded return of that flimsy satin! The nightgown for the most part looks ok, but another of this production's big issues comes in here and that is a gaping issue on front closing overcostumes. (If you read my 2022 Schönbrunn roast, you might remember how I complained about the massive amount of gaping in the front Der Tod's doctor disguise had). Here, the gaping could have easily been fixed with an added ruffle along the seam.

Which is better? Heinrich once again.

Star dress:

Heinrich version: Cream bodice with gathered tulle overlay, bertha collar trimmed with pearls and 3 tiered tulle ruffle sleeves, matching skirt with draped tulle overlay, tulle sash and pearl necklace. I love how this dress isn't an outright copy of the Winterhalter portrait, but keeps the soft, etherial and dreamy vibe the dress has. This dress looks light as a feather and even if it doesn't outright have stars, it has a light shimmer in the tulle.

Tax version: Cream bodice decorated with tulle overlay w/ gold embroidered stars, with pleated bertha collar, single tier tulle ruffle sleeves, matching skirt, matching star embroidered shawl, white satin gloves and star necklace. I love how this costume looks exactly like the portrait! The design is great, but sometimes, there have been some hiccups with the execution, specifically with balancing the volume of the sleeve in relation to the skirt. The costume below is one of the better ones, but often, the sleeves end up being too big and the skirt too narrow, throwing the proportion off. And sometimes, the costume can end up looking too stiff.

Which is better? Depending on the version. For me, this will be a tie. The better versions of the Tax design are equally as good as the Heinrich versions. However, if I were to take into account some of the stiffer versions of the Tax design, Heinrich would take the win again.

As the situation in Gaza continued to deteriorate amid Israel’s ongoing attacks on civilians, residents of the enclave are still facing extreme shortages of basic necessities due to the Israeli ongoing blockade.  Although the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza is open 24/7, Israeli procedures hamper the entrance of lifesaving humanitarian aid.  Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has accused Israel of delaying aid deliveries into Gaza as a pressure tactic. “This is a form of pressure on the Gaza Strip and its people over the conflict and the release of hostages. They are using this as a pressure tool on the people of the Strip,” Sisi said, as cited by Reuters.  Meanwhile, at the Israel-controlled Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) between Gaza and Israel, Israeli protests, including family members of captives in Gaza, gathered on Wednesday to prevent aid trucks from entering Gaza.

The protestors, who are part of a group known as Order Nine Movement, are calling for an end to all aid from entering Gaza, including medical supplies, until all Israeli captives are released, reported Al Jazeera.  Over the last two weeks, only 80 trucks a day have been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip due to Israel’s lengthy process of clearance and security checks, Al Jazeera added. 

UN agencies and humanitarian organizations working on the ground say that the aid that gets through is “a drop in the ocean” of what is needed amid the unfolding crisis in Gaza, which is said to be on the brink of famine. For context, before October 7, about 500 delivery trucks would enter Gaza every day. 

Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian physician and humanitarian activist, told Al Jazeera that Israel is weaponizing aid restrictions against Gaza. “It is a deliberate governmental plan to eradicate the people of Gaza — through disease, through bombing and through non-availability of medical supplies and medical services, and famine and the lack of water,” Gilbert said. “This is one of the most gruesome, concerted attacks on public health that I have ever seen.” He added that the humanitarian catastrophe is man-made. “This is a war crime. This is a weapon of mass destruction used deliberately by Israel.”

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said he told Netanyahu that more aid trucks must be able to enter Gaza and that an immediate “humanitarian pause” is needed to help those trapped in a “desperate situation.” “The scale of suffering in Gaza is unimaginable. More must be done faster to help people trapped in this desperate situation,” Cameron continued.  “We have trebled our assistance for Gaza…But our efforts will only make a difference if aid gets to those who need it most. “As I said to Netanyahu … far more trucks need to be able to enter Gaza and more crossings need to open. We need an immediate humanitarian pause to get aid in and hostages out, followed by a sustainable ceasefire.” UN chief Guterres has once again called for “rapid, safe, unhindered, expanded & sustained humanitarian access throughout Gaza” in a post on X.

2023 recap

Omo ku sudah lama banget ingin menulis what I am grateful for in 2023 tapi betulan selalu ga sempet (ya emang u didn’t make time aja Non). Terus ini juga, jam 18.15 masih di wellbeingroom-nya RSL padahal jam 18.30 ada janjian dinner di Linacre harusnya sekarang udah mulai jalan??/

Yaudah jadi ini outline kasar aja yah.

Paling bersyukur 2023 ini karena:

Dikasih sama Allah kesehatan fisik dan mental yang mumpuni untuk tetap menjalani hidup, ku bisa bilang dengan sangat bahagia malah:

Secara duniawi, ku nonton STRAY KIDS 2 KALI??!! Kurang highlight of the year apa itu. Terus juga bisa nonton live Beyonce, Abel, Trevor Noah???

Dari sisi PhD, ku berangkat konferens di Goldschmidt, bisa RESUBMIT!, walaupun di-reject lagi. Bisa nge-run eksperimen dengan sealing di RHUL (ini jadi technical banget postnya tapi gapapa)

Bisa travelling??! Yang butuh uang dan kesehatan fisik dan mental juga dalam preparing dan melaksanakannya

Bisa pulang ke Indo bertemu keluarga dan teman-teman

Bisa dapat rumah di Castle Mill dan mempunyai flatmate yang solehah dan suka memasak juga HUHU

Apa lagi ya… Sebetulnya itu aja, tapi ITU AJA UDAH BANYAK BANGET???! Terutama kalau dicompare dengan 2020 atau 2021… Jujur sebetulnya hidup gaada drama aja tuh udah superduper grateful, lah ini dengan positive perksnya (MENANGIS). Sebetulnya pas Umroh kemarin nulis sih grateful for apa aja, tapi lebih in general selama 30 tahun ini grateful for-nya, nggak dilimit ke 2023 aja.

Habis ini akan nonton classical concert di Sheldonian jadi pulangnya akan malam. Untuk refreshing, ku repost postingan recap 2021 yah. Ku baru sadar kalau ku gapernah nulis recap 2022… aneh banget.

Byea.

Gräfin Eszterházy (Elisabeth)

As you can have guessed by my username, Gräfin Eszterházy is one my favourite musical characters. The character isn't historically accurate, because she is Elisabeth's main lady in waiting almost the whole musical, but real Sisi had more of them during her life.

Sophie Eszterházy-Liechtenstein was Sisi's lady in waiting in 1854-1862. She was Sisi's first lady in waiting and the Empress didn't choose her herself. It is said that they didn't have a good relationship, because Gräfin Sophie was much older than Empress Sisi.

In the musical Sophie Eszterházy agrees with Archduchess Sophie, but also helps young Elisabeth. Her character is very interesting, but so underrated.

I tried to find all the actresses that played Gräfin Eszterházy, but since she isn't always considered as main character (which she should), there aren't records about all the actresses. I didn't find all the alternates and swings yet, so here you have only the Erstbesetzung for most of the productions.

Parang nag sisi ako na di ko tinuloy concert ni ate moira, na unahan kasi ng responsibilidad sa bahay, ang sakit ng mga new songs. Bawi na lang ako sa album launch and next concert. Mapanakit talaga ih

Grand Concert (atau dikenali sebagai model "OO" ) didasarkan pada bentuk gitar klasik, yang diseragamkan oleh karya Antonio de Torres Jurado. Ia mempunyai kedalaman yang lebih dangkal dengan sisi bawah yang sedikit lebih lebar. Kedalaman yang lebih kecil mengurangkan volume selangkah lebih jauh, menjadikannya sebuah instrumen yang sangat selesa untuk orang yang lebih kecil dan instrumen pembelajaran yang hebat untuk kanak-kanak.

[apersonwholuvmartabak]

isi kepala lagi penuh bgt sampe pusing, trus menyelesaikan dengan cara tertidur. udah gak pusing sih tapi masih masih aja terngiang-ngiang isi kepala

jujur gua kesepian bgttt parah, hidup jadi lebih flat kayak waktu itu pas gua belum pacaran, dan kgn pgn peluk dan uring2an

jujur aja gua sempet emang mau balikan, tapi disatu sisi takut gak bisa ngubah apa2 kayak masih sama aja rasanya pas gua sama dia terakhir kali

jujur gua masih rasanya gak ikhlas bgt sama apa yang menjadi sakit hati yang gua rasain, pas sama dia. tbh dia orangnya egois parah, manipulatif, gaslighting

i was think dia cuma jatuh cinta karna apa yang gua treat ke dia aja, dia juga pernah bilang kok dia bakal suka sama orang klo dia ditreat dengan baik, dan karna mama nya suka gua dia jadi ikut2an suka juga, dan i can prove bahwa mereka sama2 saling menyukai, tapi karna mereka temen aja klo confess pun mereka jadi asing, jadi mereka pendem deh.

dia bilang dia CUMA TEMENAN, tapi ada bukti bahwa mereka tuh suka satu sama lain.

yudi langsung marah klo gua suka cemburuin hal ini > terselut emosi ketika menjelaskan klo mereka itu temenan 🥰

gak langsung nurut apa yang gua utarakan, dan apa yang gua gak suka, i mean gak langsung take a action cuma melontarkan kata2, dan itu butuh berbulan2 harus nunggu gua capek dulu baru gerak 😙

dan kontolnya adalah ketika nonton konser bgsddd citra caper bgt plis, dan main rampas aja mau ngiketin scarf nya yudi buat diiket kyk mikasa, dan yudi nya pasrah aja 😫 padahal itu disamping nya ada gua kenapa citra sejahat itu, trus si citra cubit tete ke yudi dan yudi nya ketawa2 dianggap nya bercanda (EMANG NYA ITU LUCU?????) dan itu didepan mata gua sendiri

I'II never forget dattt dia chatingan pake aku kamu, that seriously my heartbreak into pieces, dan itu berkali2. Yang paling sakit adalah yudi belain citra PLISSS karna kata yudi itu cuma BERCANDAAN DIA KOK (●'◡'●)

pas kita main kebogor, si yudi bener2 excited bgt buat nungguin citra plis pas lagi didepan stasiun bogornya, sampe gak mau duduk, pas gua suruh yudi duduk. trus pas abis makan ayam geprek, kan mau pada fotoo tuh pake kamera nya si ojaq, nah si citra nya nih touch up, trus si yudi ngeliatin citra touch up KEKKKK WOYYY???? dan pas nyebelinnya si citra tuh pas dikereta apa bgt coba duduk disebelah yudi dan diem aja bete gitu without knowing dan transit kereta duluan tanpa pamitan sama yang lain, i mean si yudi nya jadi merhatiin ke citra KONTLLLL, kata nya dia lagi kebelet pipis WKWKWK GOBLOK GOBLOK

yang goblok nya adalah yudi nya nanggepin aja gitu apa yang menjadi perhatiannya si yudi, YAIYALAH BRAY MEREKA SAMA2 SUKA XIXI KOCAK ABIEZ

usap2 pundaknya pas citra lagi nangis dikonser, body language nya yudi ituloh ngikutin citra, pasti yudi kangen bgt 😍 sama citra soalnya udah lama gak ketemu sama citra UWU. DAN ITU THE BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE GO TO CONCERT FUCK LAH, semua berawal dari konser.

YANG TOLOL NYA GUA ADALAH GUA TERLALU PUSH AWAY ORANG2 YANG MAU DEKETIN GUA DAN TERLALU CUEK SAMA PARTNER KERJA GUA, DEMI MENJAGA PERASAAN DIA. TAPI APA DIA PERNAH BERPIKIR HAL YANG SAMA? HE NEVER THINK A SAME WAY, SMH.

gua sejaga perasaan itu karna gua sayang dan itu gak mau terjadi di gua, namun mau gak mau kejadian ini yang gua harus terima bahwa gua emang gak benar2 diinginkan. pantesan aja gua disuruh bawel sama yudi karena biar kayak si citra kalih 🧐

gua selalu ungkit ini walaupun udah pernah dibahas. dan minta maaf, tapi kenapa gua gak pernah bisa nerima hal itu? CUZ THATS DISRESPECTFUL, CITRA GAK BISA MENGHARGAI HUBUNGAN GUA SAMA YUDI, DAN YUDI PUN MELAKUKAN HAL YG SAMA GAK BISA MENGHARGAI HUBUNGAN KITA. pas ada gua mereka centil gitu apalagi pas gak ada gua ya 🥱

gini ya rasanya tulus ke orang, tapi gak dihargai...

jadi ini alasan kenapa keluarga gak merestui?????

klo misal gua balikan pun, apa yang bisa diubah? apakah perasaan gua masih berkurang? apakah gua bisa nerima KE-DIRESPECTFUL -AN NYA CITRA? (OH TENTU TIDAK YA BABI) apakah yudi bisa jadi visioner? dan berusaha bekerja keras lebih dari gua? dan perkiraan gua theres is no change, even when i tried pas waktu kita break seminggu

he said yang setia kalah sama yang selalu ada 🤣🤣🤣🤣 kocyag abiez setia apanya lawak benullll 😂😂😂

Baroque Splendor: Discovering Vienna and Prague with Roomchai's Schengen Tours

Embarking on a journey from Dhaka to the heart of Europe, I was excited to explore the Baroque wonders of Vienna and Prague. These two cities, rich in history and culture, offered an enchanting escape from the everyday. With Roomchai’s Schengen Tours, my trip was well-organized and immersive, providing a seamless travel experience.

Vienna: A Symphony of Elegance

Palatial Grandeur

Vienna, the city of music and imperial majesty, was my first stop. Schönbrunn Palace, with its stunning architecture and meticulously landscaped gardens, was a highlight. Walking through the grand halls, adorned with intricate frescoes and opulent chandeliers, I could almost hear the echoes of the Habsburg dynasty.

The Hofburg Palace, the former imperial winter residence, was equally impressive. The Sisi Museum and the Imperial Apartments provided fascinating insights into the lives of Austria’s royalty. Exploring the palace grounds, I felt a deep connection to the rich history that shaped this magnificent city.

Artistic and Musical Heritage

Vienna's reputation as a cultural hub was evident in its vibrant arts scene. The Belvedere Palace, home to Gustav Klimt’s famous painting "The Kiss," was a treasure trove of Austrian art. The MuseumsQuartier, one of the largest cultural complexes in the world, offered diverse exhibitions ranging from contemporary art to classical masterpieces.

A visit to the Vienna State Opera was a dream come true. The acoustics and performances were unparalleled, transporting me into a world of musical brilliance. Attending a concert in the Musikverein, where the Vienna Philharmonic performs, was another unforgettable experience.

Culinary Indulgence

Vienna’s culinary scene was a delightful exploration of flavors. Traditional dishes like Wiener Schnitzel and Apfelstrudel were must-tries. The city’s coffeehouse culture was an integral part of my experience. Enjoying a melange and a slice of Sachertorte at Café Sacher was a perfect way to soak in the Viennese atmosphere.

Prague: The Enchanted City

Historical Charm

Arriving in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, I was immediately captivated by its fairy-tale charm. The Old Town Square, with its colorful Baroque buildings and the iconic Astronomical Clock, was a bustling hub of activity. Exploring the narrow, winding streets, I discovered hidden gems around every corner.

Majestic Castles and Bridges

Prague Castle, overlooking the city from its hilltop perch, was a highlight of my visit. The grandeur of St. Vitus Cathedral, with its Gothic spires and beautiful stained glass windows, was awe-inspiring. The castle’s Golden Lane, with its tiny, colorful houses, provided a glimpse into medieval life.

The Charles Bridge, spanning the Vltava River, was a magical experience. Lined with statues of saints, the bridge offered stunning views of the city’s skyline. Walking across the bridge at sunset, with the city bathed in golden light, was a moment of pure enchantment.

Rich Cultural Tapestry

Prague’s rich cultural heritage was evident in its numerous museums and galleries. The National Gallery, the Museum of Decorative Arts, and the Jewish Museum each offered unique perspectives on the city’s history and artistic achievements. The city’s vibrant music scene, showcased in venues like the Prague National Theatre, added to the cultural feast.

Comparing Travel Agencies

While Roomchai offered an exceptional travel experience, it's worth noting that other Bangladeshi travel agencies like ShareTrip and Go Zayaan also provide excellent services for European tours. These agencies offer a variety of packages, catering to different preferences and ensuring that travelers from Bangladesh have a wealth of options for their European adventures.

Conclusion

My journey through Vienna and Prague with Roomchai's Schengen Tours was an unforgettable exploration of Baroque splendor and cultural richness. These cities, with their imperial palaces, vibrant arts scenes, and historical charm, offered a perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern vitality. If you dream of experiencing the grandeur of Europe, Vienna and Prague are waiting to enchant you with their timeless beauty and captivating stories.
