Swan Lake Ballet
One of the best things about living in Europe is the Arts. I have the privilege to see some of the most beautiful works of art in architecture and theater while living in Prague. When I was home in San Diego, I saw the movie Black Swan and LOVED it (even tho it was terrifyingly creepy). While in the metro, I saw an advertisement for symphony concerts, ballets, and opera's at the Prague State Opera Theater. I had to take advantage of seeing a concert and saw that they were showing Swan Lake! I had to go so, I did. This past Saturday, I went on a hot date with myself to see Swan Lake. I bought my ticket online and with the few available seats left, I chose to sit in a booth. The price was right and I wanted to do a ballet in style. The theater was absolutely incredible. It's too bad America didn't pick up on this trend of extraordinary theaters. When I found my seat I felt like a QUEEN since I was right in front of the orchestra looking down on the stage. When the performance started, I instantly got goosebumps. Not only was it just like Black Swan :) but the dancers were incredible. I have never been to a ballet before and now I am a huge fan. It is best of both worlds, you get to listen to great classical music performed by a symphony while watching some of the most talented ballerina's. I had the best evening and something I will always remember. If you ever travel in Europe in winter, you MUST MUST MUST go see the arts. There is nothing in this world that will ever compare.
Mylene's Pizza
My roommate Mylene is an amazing cook. I told her that she should have her own food show on the Food Network and be a huge sensation! She makes everything from scratch and she know her spices (just like Ratatouille, the movie). ONE of my favorite dishes she makes is her pizza! She makes the dough from scratch and pizza sauce. So one afternoon I begged her to show me how to make this pizza and we had a feast of pizzas for a week. MMMmmmm I'm eating very well here in Prague thanks to Mylene. Take a look and try not to drool.
