Soya Dessert




Sender: Damn

Damn writes that this dessert can be eaten by vegetarians as it is soya blancmange! Wow, I've never had soya blancmange before. It looks like chocolate! Soya dessert in my place is normally beancurd with sweet syrup. It's yummy, try it!

Austrian Dolls




Sender: Claudia
Österreich/Austria

Collectible dolls wearing the traditional costumes/styles of different regions of Austria. Dirndl Dress is a kind of traditional dress commonly used in Austria, Bavaria and other parts of the Eastern Alps.

I read that the way that the bow of the pinafore is made signals the marital status of the woman: If the bow is on the right side, she is engaged or married; if it is on the left side, she is available. If a woman wears the bow on the back, she is a widow..

Claudia writes that she wears her traditional dresses on special occasions.

Cafe Schwarzenberg, Vienna



Sender: marcie08

Café Schwarzenberg dates back to the start of the 20th century and the café continues to uphold the theme of the traditional Viennese coffee house. Here café-goers can browse through a selection of international newspapers, drink any number of the café's huge selection of coffees and teas or order some traditional specialties from the bakery.

I would really like to sit by the window with my closest buddies and enjoy a plateful of sumptuous cakes with cup after cup of aromatic coffee...

Oh, Vienna! ~ Ultravox

VIENNA!!
Sender: Linzerin



(Part of "Vienna" lyrics)
We walked in the cold air. Freezing breath on a window pane, Lying and waiting. The man in the dark in a picture frame, So mystic and soulful.  A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh Vienna...
