Last night, after our
classes, we all went down to a restaurant called
Sherrif's and enjoyed a variety of foods and ice creams.
The teachers like to get together for lunch and dinner to
share some fellowship and debrief about the day. It also
builds a team spirit for cooperation and encouragement.
After we ate, Dana, Mike, Joseph, and I all decided to walk
up to the University district to catch a Metro home. When we
got near the station, we heard some nice music coming from
the National Theatre. We decided to take a detour and check
it out. It turned out to be a special concert by the
Bucharest Symphonic Pops. They played several songs we knew
like Summertime, a Muppet Medley, selections
from Phantom of the Opera, and I Did It My Way.
They had a couple guest singers who were very good. They
spoke perfect Romanian but when they sang the songs in
English, they had no accent. We stayed for about 45 minutes
until they had a French guy who got up to sing. He had an
awful voice as he tried to sing To Dream the Impossible
Dream. I think I have a good impression of him if you
ever want to see and hear it. In any case, it made us leave
quickly. Otherwise, it was a pleasant surprise to be a part
of this special event. |
