picasa is making me fume with its slow connection and inability to upload my photos online onto my blog! that means i have to go back to pre-picasa days where i had to upload my photos manually!
anyway, so many things happened after graz and melk. i went to an authentic opera in Vienna Opera House! Yes i did! And it was a mind-blowing opera! But it us unglam cos Tina and I, being poor students, could only afford to pay for Standing Area Tickets which means that we have to queue up 3 hours before the opera starts at 7pm. And we figured that if we are standing for 3 hours straight, why bother to dress up?!
Oh, the opera was Carmen (Yes! I heard that famous song live!) and it was in French. Tina and I tried to figure out what language till we heard familiar french phrases like 'Vous le vous' and 'Pardon'
By the way, those cheap tickets at 3.50 Euros were really a steal! And we were standing just behind those most expensive seats in the groud floor! That means, we both have an unobstructed view of the stage and the opera! If you take away the standing and squeezing part, Tina and I, well at least I did feel like a million bucks and was indeed, paying top notch hell blowing prices for an opera! We also had little screens in front of the stands to showcase subtitles in various languages!
By the way, the stage of the opera was also very cool! The stage was actually tilted at an angle (which meant that all the players are playing and acting out on a slope) to ensure everyone have a great view of the actors on stage!
Had a blast and i am so looking forward to my next opera!
