weeknight in amsterdam
last night i went to amsterdam with gerard, judith and jessica. gerard had tickets for us to see a concert at the magnificent concertgebouw in amsterdam's museumplein.
the concert was a mix of classical music, spanish guitar by pepe romero, flamenco dances, and opera. the orchestra and spanish guitar played one of my favorite pieces, Rodrigo's Aranjuez. :)
the opera was heavy, i'd never been that interested in opera anyway. i thought the singer and dancers for the flamenco dance were very good. i'd seen flamenco dances in spain before and one christmas in madrid, i managed to get tickets for a joaquin cortes performance.
before the concert we went to the japanesepancakeworld to eat some of joachim's lovely okonomiyaki. i had a negiyaki butatama this time, and a green tea milkshake. so yumm! i thought of kathya as i was eating, and i thought maybe if i thought of her hard enough, in wiesbaden she'd get zapped by the delicious psychic flavors.
we got home pretty late, around two am. so today i am quite tired. must get to bed early tonight.

kathya: iya, makanya balik lagi kesini, we haven't even explored half of amsterdam.
retno: hihihi, kemaren nonton bagian operanya sambil ngantuk2 juga sih. suka dengerin radio brussels nggga? lumayan tuh rock musicnya.
