This Side of Blue and Yellow: Wein, Weib und Gesang > 자유게시판

It was past 11:30pm when I got home from Wiesbaden. On the way there, the Schiersteinbrücke, which crosses the Main River from Mainz to the Autobahn, was still closed, so I went upstream and entered Wiesbaden on the opposite bank. 104km from the Wine Route is farther than Baden-Baden. It would be faster to take the ferry to the Rheingau. I didn't use much fuel because I drove slowly with plenty of time, but I needed nearly 40 euros for the round trip. I parked under the casino, so the parking fee was 12 euros for 3 hours and 30 minutes. The program for the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra's German tour was free, so I got two copies with the one I had left, and I also got a booklet about the orchestra. Mineral water cost 3.5 euros, so I needed about 85 euros in total. In addition, I was told that this series of tours was supporting the donation activities for the invitation of star conductor Aksana Liniv's Ukrainian Youth Orchestra to Germany. I was told that they are now based in safe Slovakia. I am also interested in that, so I hope that even though the ticket was relatively expensive, I was able to contribute a little. So, was it worth it? What did I gain from it that exceeded my expectations before going out? First of all, I went around without a mask. There were quite a few people wearing masks, but more people were not wearing them than at the supermarket, and it was also hot, so that may be to be expected. On the way home, I listened to the radio in the car and heard that the quarantine period for positive cases had been shortened from ten to five days. The explanation given was that herd immunity had been established. If you take a free test after five days and it is negative, that will be the end of it. About 200 people continue to die every day, but it seems that there is nothing that can be done about this. Personally, my vaccination will expire in about a month, so I will see how it progresses. As I have already written, the performance was sponsored by the Goethe Institute and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and was managed by KD Schmidt. For some reason, the Warsaw Philharmonic was involved. It is probably a temporary base. For money-strapped Poland to go to such lengths is only an anti-Russian spirit. In Wiesbaden, a politician gave a speech at the beginning, and when an EU bigwig said that Ukraine was going to demonstrate culturally that it was on this side of the EU, there was only hesitant applause. Of course, this was because of the resentment against the dualism of this side and that side, and the feeling that everyone felt that EU membership was far away. It was also introduced that Ukrainian refugees were also in one corner, and that the Frankfurt Consul was also there as a guest. Naturally, the Ukrainian people would have recognized this. The Italian conductor spoke about this tour. "At the beginning of this war, Putin said that Ukraine does not exist. However, when you know its art, history, and music, and look at its repertoire, it has its own identity and is in contact with European culture in many places. This is more than we think, and we want to emphasize this on this tour." What was the specific emphasis of this concert program?
