So I woke up a little bit ago and I have been just getting stuff together. Right now I'm eating Choco Flakes which are crunchy wheat chocolate flavored shapes. haha It is not good. haha, but surprising it is pretty healthy. It has a lot of B vitamin. Enough about my breakfast let me talk about the ball. I'm still trying to get over this cold that I have. I can feel it getting better....I think haha. I decided to leave early from the ball. I was there for about 4 hours. It was unbelievable. I have never seen anything like it and I never will again. It was amazing. It was in the imperial palace. They did some fun dances like the cha cha, rumba, waltz, viennese waltz, tango, the twist, and some slow dancing. The ball was packed. There were 3 dancing rooms with 3 different bands. I danced a lot. A lot of the people from IES that went were girls and they didn't have anyone to dance with so I literally went down the row and danced with as many girls as I could from IES for about 15 songs that were 4 to 5 minute songs. My legs are killing me this morning. I just wanted everyone to experience dancing and having fun at a ball instead of sitting on some stairs in front of the ballroom. Here are some pictures

This is the imperial palace. This is where the ball was.

This is part of the opening ceremony. I got it on my camcorder and I'm trying to upload it but I will have to try later.

This is one of the ballrooms it was small. This is where they taught people to dance.

This is where the more popular "American" music was played. They did a lot of slow dancing and tango in here.

This is the ballroom from the back and they were doing some austrian line dance and I didn't know how to do it so I just watched. It was very interesting.
The ball was amazing. It ended at 5 a.m. They apparently started serving breakfast at 3 a.m. It is a night that I know I will never ever forget. It truly was a fairy tale. Well I have to get going. I have to practice. I have my first voice lesson today. I will update you all later.
Love,
B
I'll bet all that show choir experience came in handy! :)
