saturday - part 2

sorry about the delay. i'm a bad blogger and neglect posting... i'll try to change that.

part 2 is about theatre.

so right after Michael picked me up from the hike we had to go to a theatre to see a performance - "i love you because". we didn't have time to stop at home but i thought since it's a local theatre and local performance it should be okay to go in jeanse. in america at least. not a big deal.









the theatre was beautiful inside out. the first thing i noticed however was that people were dressed up. even more - i think we were the only people in jeanse! i felt uncomfortable. also the people were... old. we probably were the youngest couple there. also a thing to note there were many old guys with rather young model-like girls in cocktail dresses and on 11 cm heels minimum. americans are funny.. they can dress up.. and wear sneakers (crossovki). it all just gave me mixed feelings. then we went to buy tickets - that was the second astonishment - it cost 100$ for 2 tickets. at a local theatre! and Michael explained that "theatre" was an entertainment for "the rich" and that not many people have ever been to one in their lives.

that kind of stroke me. i remember going to theatres in Armenia - they were full of teens, older people, even children from middle school. some people would be dressed up. some would be in jeanse. if it was a local show a ticket would cost somewhere from 2$ to 16$.

so it was kind of sad - i think theatre is fun and people should attend a real play at least once in their lives! but yeah here also by saying "theatre" people usually refer to "cinema theatre".

anyway. i was not allowed to take any pictures and promised to a security officer to keep the camera in the bag - he was being nice and let me actually have the camera with me instead of leaving it in some room. he completely understood that if i left the camera somewhere else i would be nervous during whole performance and that cameras are expensive to lose :))

now the show itself was very nice and i liked it. BUT. it was more of a musicle kind than what i expected it to be.

one thing is certain - we had fun and it was unforgettable experience. but it's not all. soon part 3 will come out :D
