Ballet etc

Today after classes we all went to see a ballet. It was at Tchaikovsky theater. The name of it was "Игоря Моисеева" "Igorya Moiseeva". It started off as a tango ballet, which was a little weird to be honest. But the second half was a mix of traditional Russian dancing with some contemporary influences. It's kind of hard to get a sense of storyline from ballet, but it was kind of about this guy who gets drunk (waaaaay to drunk) and winds up having a nightmare about goblin type creatures carrying him away and planning to eat his body. They never actually eat him (he wakes up just before they do) but the dancing was phenomenal. The traditional dancing part was really cool, and the goblins were awesome. Everybody in the group really enjoyed it which kind of surprised me because not everyone was that excited to go there. (except for me, the music guy). The rest of this week has really just been classes and relaxing. Today (thursday) I went to a diner by the Ashan called "starlight cafe" it was themed like a classic american diner. It was really good.
