NutCracker

Ayako was a pity girl. she has asked her host parents not to have any plan today since early Dec, but they invited their parents and rejected her. she wanted to surprise them, so that she didn't say she bought tickets of NutCracker... for all of her family(5people/incl her)! And finally, yesterday, she told her host-mom that she had tickets. and host-mom said "you shouldn't have done that. if you give that kinda expensive thing, i need to give something same price to you... and i cannot afford it!" She was shocked, of course... there is no "Thank you" and little of "Sorry". I really feel sorry for her...
but anywayz, she asked me to come so that I could watch NutCracker by free ;-)
The seat was really nice, it must be really expensive. the story was different from one that I've seen before, cuz it is changed for little ladys & gentlemen. They were really cute, how come they can be such nice dressed-up kids !? It's not able for Japanese kids... i remembered about my dressed-up style in a violin concert when i was 6yrs old... sucks.
i thought Japanese one is more rigid than today's. I don't know it is because of country or formality or just because of director or sth. but costumes and stage-setting were so fun to watch. I appreciate Ayako to give me a great time.
