Day 5 in Mongolia!!
Time flies so quickly!! Started the day with a delicious breakfast today! They had sausages and the jam, butter, yogurt spread again! Wohoo!!
We then headed out to watch Performances by other schools! First up was by Japan! They did Mask work and it was so good!! They integrated their movements for each specific mask so well and everything was on point! Brought back memories as we did mask work for our Acting last semester!
Next up was Korea! They did Medea! Then it was Lunch time!! We had lunch at a Mongolian Restaurant and the food was goood!! In fact, we ordered a slight bit too much! I had the Mongolian Noodle Lamb soup and the "Khuuchus?" (I'll correct the spelling later.) I also had to help a friend finish up her noodles as it was too much too!! My tummy was gonna explode!!!!
We were late for Intrigue and Love by the Mongolians. We then had dinner! Was really REALLY full!! But I had to eat as there was Pork! FINALLY! Was realllly good!!! They had green chicken curry too. And last but not the least, It was China and they did Mulan! Was really good! Many stunts and movements. One thing I didnt like was the ending. There were many false endings but overall it was really good! ;)
We then went back to the dorm and I went for a walk by myself! Was not too dark and really cooling. Really enjoyed it as I got to reflect about many things and I saw this! Noo my picture didn't get saved!!! But they were lanterns in the sky!! Turns out that it is a Buddhist festival and they were releasing lanterns into the sky! So beautiful!
Ended my day really well. Had a good talk with my friends too!
I love the fact that each country has their own culture and style of performing. Some, better than others. For me as an audience member, I kinda found it a little difficult to adapt to their culture and style as I didn't know what to expect! But it was a really good experience for me. I've also learnt that true friends are hard to get. And once we've got them, we gotta treasure them. ;)
