Wien Bleibt Wien!

23.06.2011

Is the Famous March that was composed by Johann Schrammel, that today people use the title as a quote, which means “Vienna remains Vienna”. Whenever you depart this country and come back after long time, you will find everything the same... Honestly, I never believed it until I experiment it by my self today! It’s true. Nothing has changed as if I left it yesterday! 

 

As the plan hit the ground, a small quick vision crossed my mind; Friends, Tante Helga, Maria Regina, Rudolfinerhaus, Türkenschanzpark, Eis avec Zab, 1. and 19. Bezirk, Ring, Stadtpark Kärtnerstraße, ect .. It’s weird that since I’m back in Egypt, I actually never talked about my days in Vienna with anyone. I never felt that I missed it, as if it was a part of my life that I wanted to delete, although it's not the case. Maybe because if I had talked about it, I won’t be able to live my life normally, so I had to run and forget about it and open a new page?

As soon I was outside the Airport I called Nora and we decided to surprise Meryem and Zaynab, my Friends. We all met around 6 pm at Café Latte in the 19^th district, I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing them again, after 8 months! Later on we decided to hit to Down Town “Mariahilferstraße”, and we sad at MacDonald’s Café and had a very long conversation that we even didn’t realize it was already 11 pm and we had to leave in order to catch our last Bus/underground.         

On my way home, instead of taking the Tram, I decided to walk to the Hotel. It was almost 12 am, dark, cold and quite. It feels peaceful. At some points I wanted to scream out loud and say: “I'm back in Town people!”
