Sydney Festival 2010

Guess what! I went to the opening of the Sydney Festival. It was held in  the Domain park and Hyde Park, which are the biggest parks in the city. There were 250,000 people attending the concert. Isn't that a lot!? At the concert there was a traditional Aboriginal ceremony.

Busking

I have been out busking! Can you believe it? I have been playing Christmas carols  on my clarinet to bring Christmas cheer and spirit. I go busking in an outdoor mall where everyone is busy doing their Christmas shopping. I can play Silent night,Oh Christmas Tree, Joy to the World, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Good King Wenceslas.
