Ko-Shin, Dai-Rong and
I spent almost 1 month traveling in Spain, France and the UK. We arrived in London and purchased the tickets of The Phantom of The Opera for July 28 at Her Majesty's Theater on July 10. I like to watch people. Before flying to Barcelona by easyJet flight, we walked around the next morning. After our trip to Barcelona and France, we took the Eurostar from Paris to London (2.5 hrs) on July 28.
Of course, we didn't miss must-eat British foods. English breakfast- eggs, bacon, sausages, bread, mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoes. Fish and Chips- fried fish with French fries.
July 12 Barcelona
July 13-17 Cantonigros
Leaving Ko-Shin and Dai-Rong in Barcelona on July 13th morning, I went to join the festival with Taipei Teacher's Choir in Cantonigros, in the north of Barcelona. The good news was we won the 3rd prize in the mixed choirs!
Our conductor, accompanist and I stayed in a friendly and sweet hostfamily during the 4 nights. The host father is an Italian and the host mother is a local. They have 3 adorable children. They prepared wonderful dinner, a party and invited their friends. The backyard was full of laughs every night. What a great time we had together!
In Taiwan, I usually have supper at 6:00-7:00pm. Can you believe people in Spain have supper after 8:00? We had 4 meals a day. We had breakfast at hostfamily. The festival served lunches and suppers in a big tent. Eating with other choirs was fun! And, we had supper again with our hostfamily after coming back from the festival. It's 10:00-11:00! Good for my weight. ^_^
