While Tim and Sue were here we were invited to the Japanese
Residence for an evening of beautiful music!
 |
| A little rice wine for starters! |
 |
| We were one of the first guests to arrive. |
 |
| They had converted a lower living room area into a small concert hall. |
 |
| The Japanese Ambassador kicked off the evening with a welcome and then the singer and her accompanist came down the circular staircase to begin their performance. Many of the cabinet ministers and their wives/husbands were also there… ( in fact, we sort of wondered why we had been invited). |
 |
| The vocalist was quite good! |
 |
| As well as the pianist! |
 |
| They did a variety of classical operatic music…. |
 |
| but when they did Amazing Grace… the whole room exploded with applause! Junko, the ambassador's wife, is a good friend from AIC and I want to thank her and the ambassador for including us in a wonderful evening. It was very special! Thanks again! love, margie Back to Sue and Tim for the rest of the evening. |
