I had an unforgettable date with my favourite boys in sailor uniforms last night,
who delivered each song with rosy cheeks and unadulterated innocence;
Johann Strauss’ polkas and Emperor Waltz,

The song that breaks my heart

I remember watching the movie in that tiny English cinema off Opernring and this particular soundtrack just reminds me so much of Vienna and everything I love about it.

It’s 5pm there right now, the winter probably not so cold anymore. 
All I want to do at this very moment is book the next available flight to that place and never leave again.
I’ve [...]
