Theater

Jan. 10 at 17:00 my mom and I are going to be busy sitting in a local theater and watching a play. Don't ask me what the play is, it's written by some famous Russian guy and I haven't heard of it, which is not surprising seeing as I wasn't all that much into Russian literature EVER :) Anyway, so I am pretty excited. We have a pretty small and cute theater in my hometown, and I used to go there about once a year or so when I was little, usually with my mom. My dad refuses to go to a theater :)

The funny part though is when I asked mom if she wanted to go to a theater with me, she said yes, and then she added that it's a bit expensive. So, I went to the box office and found out that THE most expensive ticket was 300 rubles, that is slightly over $10. I had to laugh, considering that last summer Matt and I spent about $80 per ticket to see a ballet in Moscow, theater tickets are no cheaper there, so after being used to Moscow prices, and the ones in the states I was pleasantly surprised that I had to pay a total of about $23 for 2 tickets for the play tomorrow :)

That said, I am very excited to go tomorrow, it will be a good outting for me and mom, and I think we will have a great time. Maybe we will even stop at the coffee shop on the way back home :) I like doing things like that with my folks (although this time it's just mom since dad still refuses to go to theater :)), these are memories that I get to keep forever!!!
