Alash - Tuvan throat singing

Bug got to see/hear the Tuvan throat singers, Alash, last night. She was SO HAPPY! She had practiced introducing herself in Tuvan and saying "thank you". They taught her how to say "goodbye" and "my friend". What a great evening. We can't wait to see them again!

We were in the front row.

Bug was very happy. This was the look on her face for most of the concert.

We had reserved seats. Bug is special like that.   ;)

We're still here....

Wow..how is it that I haven't blogged since Christmas?! Busy, I guess.

Bug is still working on her Chinese, though is trying to learn a bit of Tuvan as we're going to see Alash Ensemble in a couple of weeks. They are Tuvan throat singers. She REALLY wants to see Kongar-ol Ondar, but since he taught 2 of the guys in Alash Ensemble, she's pretty excited to see them. She's been really interested in this music since she saw the documentary Ghengis Blues.

She's still thoroughly absorbed in Hogwarts/Harry Potter/Gryffindor. We surprised her with this hoodie the other day.
