Ballet, Classical Concert

We stayed here the weekend of the 19th, I think. But definitely a good choice. the whole weekend was spent just sightseeing. we went to an art gallery on Friday in the Rudolfinum. then saturday night we go to listen to a classical music concert in the national museum building. But then just before that, we bought tickets for the swan lake ballet on wednesday. First though, the classical concert was amazing! So cool being able to go with a group of friends and enjoy classical music and talk about the intricacies of the music afterward. Concert was definitely a first for me, and definitely won't be a last. One of my favorite things is to watch the way the players play. Whether they are swayers, foot tappers, close their eyes with intense concentration, smile as the music picks up or body shakers. Love it baby! But afterwards we go to eat, and I see Claire from CSU at a restaurant we are eating at. Crazy, yeah there was no way I was going to see her otherwise, but it was definitely weird to see her sitting at the table right next to us! Small world huh! But we go to a Lucerna club, where they play 80's music, not that fun until of course we get up on stage and start dancing. Then it gets crazy, so we stay til 4, and then, being the crazy party kids we are, Zeus, Sampo (finnish) and I decide to head to another club. Yeah, and we dance til they stop playing music at I think it was 6. And for easily the last hour, we were the only ones left dancing. Dancing all night... one of my new favorite things in life. then we ride the tram the wrong way, cause we are completely incoherent, across the river, and we have to walk back across the bridge, almost at sunrise. But too tired to stay and watch so we walked back and got on the tram to go home. Except we all fell asleep within five minutes of getting on the tram, and the tram operator had to shake us until he woke us as we hit our last stop. We stepped outside and the sun was up. I couldn't stop laughing. We had partied all night!
