Last night I went to the ballet. It was fabulous. I had 8th row center seats. I only paid €10 for the seats. The seat I sat in is normally a €54.25 seat. Prior to the show I went out to a restaurant to get dinner. I went to a Japanese wok restaurant. I had a rice stir fry with beef, peanut sauce, and coconut milk and curry sauce. I enjoyed the meal, and would be up for it again, but the highlight of my night was the ballet. I really made out good on the seats. I sat next to this mother and daughter.
The little girl must have been about five, and she kept asking questions throughout the show. It was really adorable. The show was fabulous. One of the Dutch banks was sponsering the show, and they were providing photo opportunities. I got two photos taking. Included are the photos I had taken at the show. The left photo is of a duplicate prop from the show. The right photo is of the main character, Coppelia. After the show the bank was handing out DVDs of the making of Coppelia. I haven't tested the DVD yet, but I hope it is region free. I also bought a poster at the show. It will accompany my Wicked poster in my room at home. Het Nationale Ballet is putting on another ballet at the end of March through the beginning of April. I plan to go see that as well. The €10 student tickets are amazing. I am planning on going to see Cirque du Soleil,
which starts next weekend. Unfortunately, they don't offer student tickets. I would like to go see a musical while I am here, but unfortunately all the spoken text has been translated into Dutch. I am going to see the orchestra at the beginning of May, though. Afterwards I stopped at a bar for a drink. I have actually grown fond of Heineken while I have been here. I have never been big on beer, but I am really starting to like it. Okay, I need to go do some reading for class, but I will update again soon. I am much better than Haley in this respect.
