Date Night - the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra

Ahh, well we have done one thing right and that is organizing one night each week to go on "Date Night". It's taken some training by us of our student babysitters - who prefer to babysit in pairs as looking after two kids with only one person scares them - but this is now routine.

And that is how we found ourselves watching a performance of the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra.
It was an enjoyable evening - we even knew 85% of the pieces they played. What we did find interesting was the mix of Chinese characters and Arabic numbers to indicate row and seat numbers. Here we were sitting behind the34th seat of the 3rd row. I guess 三十 was too long to paint.
