Last nite didn't update... so I shall do it now.. Thursday.. we went to the Center for Traditional Korean Music and... we got to learn an instrument! Its a Danso, and its somewhat related to the Chinese Xiao1. Not easy to play siah.... but we're trying~ The instructor is this Mr. Lee and he was surprised we actually managed to get sounds on the very first try. He said he had some students who couldn't get a sound for like 3 months?? Thats the worst case scenario I think... Anyway later somehow we told him we were all musicians already, and he gave a relieved look and rattled off in Korean haha. He must be happy that he doesn't have to teach basic music stuff.. I can totally relate to that!

After that we went to climb the small hill backing our institute! (photos will be uploaded tonight!) Really nice place.. and if we walk that path everyday... I'm sure we'll be fitter when we get back! Bernard's just beside me now and I asked him and he said ok haha

Anyway after that we had some coffee (I had green tea latte, quite nice!) Oh and the brewer actually created a leaf motif on my cup using frothed milk! so cool! I'm going to order it again and take a picture of it!

At night we attended a concert of traditional Korean music, and the others from theatre and dance came along too~ It was quite nice... but some parts are just a little repetitive for me, but their musicianship is really good. They start together, end together and don't rush, all without a conductor.. and most importantly the speed is somewhat like crotchet = 45 or slower..

After that we had dinner at KFC... and sponsored by Arko again! hahaha, and then we went back... Jinju took the wrong train at the transfer station and she was halfway BACK to where we came from before she realised it.. then she got off and got a taxi.... Poor girl, she's overworked and stressed up over all of us. Thanks Jinju we really appreciate what you're doing!

I like our Danso lessons! AAAAAAAARRRRIIIIIIRRRRRRAAAANNNNGGGGGG
