Well, after a couple feet of snow that lasted two weeks, spring has come again, this time feeling more natural. We have had a lot of reain, but today was dry and about +7. Very pleasant. I watched the world champs for Nordic skiing this weekend. They were live in Liberec, Czech Republic. Skiing is my absolute favourite sport, and one thing I really miss about Kimberley, but it was nice to watch. I wish I could have gone to watch it live though, as it was so close!
Last night, I went to the Opera "Boris Godunov". It was very long, 4 hours, but I enjoyed it. It was such a different experience. It was in Russian, but had Slovak subtitles on a monitor above the stage. I was surprised how much I understood, as it was the slovak equivalent of Shakesperian english. I didn't really understand it overall though, as it was extremely complicated. It was about Boris, and his coming into power.

Johanna, I love you. You manage to put interesting and worthwhile blog posts out that can be read in under five minutes. Meanwhile, my comment responding to it will be nearly the same length! (I have no eye for "shortening".) You can do overview, I do in-depth review, even though I'm AIMING for overview. *sigh*
I want to go to an opera! I saw Adam Sangala my first month (I think) here... didn't understand anything! I think I could now, though... but the Slovak Shakespearean English (yeesh) would be murder!
