Day 12
Homesickness, is really starting to set in. I am really starting to miss people more now that the honeymoon exploration phase is becoming routine. I will be okay though, so don't worry.
I guess I will tell you more about the Opera from yesterday. The first one had a bunch of sailors and girls in blue dresses, with an odd ball in each group, there were nuns trying to capture the off ball girl, or at least chase her. The second one was the post contemporary. It had dancers in white with accents of red. There were two giant walnuts on the stage.
In the third act it was set in a toy shop, and had various types of dolls dancing. At one point children had to stand like perfectly still for around 20 minutes. It was hard to tell if they were people or not for a while, until they walked off stage in the dark. Later on some of them had to stay still again, and it was funny to watch them start to sway, I was partially hoping one of them would fall and knock the others down. It would have been really funny. This must have been so hard to choreograph because of the large number of people on stage, there were at least 30, probably 50 at one point. I am really looking forward to the Nutcracker tommorow night. So that is where I am at right now.
I forgot to tell you what happened the other morning somebody rang the bell. and he was there to deliver a washing machine (I thought Helga ordered one and forgot to tell me, she is still in the country) I misunderstood him when he was pointing to a name, and so he went to get it, (remember I my apartment is a 3rd floor walkup), and then I looked at the bill, and saw that they were on the wrong street entirely!
One of the neat things here, I also forgot to mention, and need to get a picture of is the mercedes taxi's! It is so weird seeing that.
