This was the day of the concert! I was super nervous! Players had to report to the hall by noon and I was due to perform at 15.30 or so... waiting around & warming up made me more nervous....
I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the concert yet. I have to wait for the professional photographer to send them here. When they arrive, I will scan and post them. ^_^
After the concert wrapped up, a large group of us headed out to a French bistro for a celebratory dinner! I really enjoyed.
The restaurant:
We ordered a course menu. First, salad...
Main dish...
Dessert...
...and of course wine! We ordered 2 bottles and I made sure to try both. ^_^
All the flautists & friends...
I got a friend to snap a photo of my flute teacher and pianist. My flute teacher gave me really funny advice: "Don't date Japanese men!" (laugh) Men are the same everywhere, I think...it doesn't matter which country they are from. ^_^
Cutenekko, my flute teacher and her pianist friend:
She also tried to figure out my name in kanji. She came up with these:
世 鈴 楕 (laugh) My name is really hard to translate into Japanese...If my Japanese readers have any suggestions, please let me know. ^_^
It was really nice to see everyone again. My friend from Osaka also joined and we had the best talk ever! I learned a lot of interesting things from her. Recently, I love listening to others' stories and experiences. I think by listening, we learn more about ourselves. What do you think?
Thank you for waiting everyone! ^_^ Please enjoy the latest post.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my stats report:
ReplyDeleteThere were 50 visitors from Japan today??!?!? What the heck??
I think I only know about 20...
The other 30 visitors, don't be shy! I love making Japanese friends.^_^
Hi Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read about your travels. I really do love keeping up to date every day. One thing, why do you blur people's eyes out? It's really creepy. :) Come to PEI soon please :D
Hi Anna-Lise!
ReplyDeleteLong time, no comment! ^_^
Recently, I love traveling back and forth between Thailand and Japan. It's fun.
I blur out the eyes for privacy reasons...but I guess it doesn't work well? LOL
I want to come to PEI. We are having a small crisis here (flood) and it's starting to stress me out. >_< No water in my area yet...but people say it will come and will last for a month! Yikes!
