Hi! I have to say this week was so ordinary it's not even worth mentioning...but some exciting things happened though... For instance i found out i get to go on the middle school trip as a reward for my voluntary work at the school, this means I don't have to pay for it, which is pretty awesome since we're going on a 4 day trip to Beijing! We re gonna go to the Great Wall, science museum, Acrobat show, Mini world ( Like Mini Europa), ...and so on :) Yesterday I walked into Auntie Nora's office after my Art class and out of the blue she asked me if i wanted to go to the Broadway show 'Cats' with Miss Natasha, her Dutch husband and one of their friends...the other friend canceled so they had a spare ticket.Why not ? A nice evening out and I love going to these kind of big show musicals. If you're given an opportunity to go (ans get a ride there and back) you might as well go for it ! They picked me up at six, their son came too but he was just going to Tianjin to meet up with some friends. He kept on talking Russian with his Mom, sometimes I understood a word but yea didn't really get the conversation :p I love how they pronounce my name :) So I thought well you guys going to talk Russian, I'm talking Dutch with the dad :p So that was funny, you had the Dutch, English and Russian going on in one car :p With some like modern Russian songs in the background :) Traffic was pretty bad..but we got there on time. Since the tickets had been booked separately we has to split up. Natasha and Richard (it was their wedding anniversary btw) were sitting on the second floor and the other Natasha and I were on the first floor. Row 21 out of 30 so kinda toward the back but next to the aisle so I could see the stage pretty well. I found out Natasha was actually from the Ukraine and had been in China for about 6 years now.. pretty cool. The show started at 7.30 but of course Chinese style most of the people came in at around 8 when the show had already started. The show itself was amazing! The Orchestra, the Singing, The dancing, the costumes ! It was so funny, The show was in English (except for this one song in Chinese which made the Chinese crowd all excited) but on the screens on the side they had Chinese subtitles :p The 'Cats' also ran into the audience a lot which was really fun :) Haha and during the break Natasha and I ran to the toilets and managed to got there first.. you wouldnt believe the line-up when we came out :p After the 2h30min show we all got back in the car and drove home, well they dropped me off and then went on to Bar Street :p The dad couldn't believe I hadn't been there yet ( don t think im going any time soon either) :p So Now it's Saturday: Weeekeend! Just got back from the cloth market, I'm having a halloween costume made for the big show going on in our school in two weeks :) I'm going as the Pie Lady 'Mrs Lovett' in the movie Sweeney Todd :p Should be fun (and insanely scary of course ;) ) Xx
