This weekend was quite a busy one; on Friday I went with my classmate Yasemin to watch the movie "Elisabeth - The Golden Age". This movie is currently in the cinemas here in Vancouver. Much as the movie was impressive, I still prefered the original one about Queen Elisabeth. I couldn't help thinking that some sequences targetted on staggering artistic images rather than historical truth. But still, it was worth the money, for sure.
On Sunday we went to the Vancouver Aquarium in the Stanley Park. As I didn't expect too much, a surprise was almost garanteed. There's a wide range of sea creatures exposed. It really is impressive. You keep asking yourself: so, that's what we know. And what is it that we don't know yet? There further were beluga whales, dolphins, sea lions and seals. Thanks to informations near the vitrine I learnt how to distinguish a sea lion from a seal.
On Monday I attended a concert of the Vancouver Symphony. They played the Violin Concerto of Tschaikovsky. It was fabulous. I'm short of words to describe what it was like. A only 19 years old talent, born in Vancouver, performed the solo. This piece of music once was reputed unplayable! :) I conclude that it is playable, indeed. At least for some talents. This too, did worth the money!
All in all, the weekend was shamelessly expensive, yea.
