ulsan world music festival

Although Ulsan is not Seoul, she does have a fairly impressive four day world music festival. I was lucky to enjoy the music of the Czech Republic, Serbia, Cuba, Spain, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador and a surpise, Montreal's Dobacaracol! I have been missing Montreal and she came to me! Talking with the artists like I did when I was younger after pantomime performances in Toronto was wonderful; I may not ever grow out of this sneaking back-stage habbit. It's better than cocaine so it must be alright. I was inspired, compelled to dance and spent an exhilirating time meeting other musicians and hearing their art. On a more personal musical front, I have two violinists from Ulsan University who would like to get together and play chamber music. Apparently there are not many violists here in Ulsan, none at the University, so I may be in luck in terms of playing opportunities! I brought home a small blener for smoothies in the morning and am looking forward to hitting work fresh for monday... despite not being home for thanksgiving.
