Relaxing jazz concert in Bethlehem as conclusion to the Jasmine Festival that the ESNCM had arranged. I almost fell asleep to the jazz, but it was a very refreshing and energetic jazz, so I was wonderfully relaxed and reloaded afterwards. The singer was amazing, she had a wonderful jazz-voice, and the 4 guys on drums, double-bass, guitar, and clarinet did a very good job.
Afterwards we joined the band and some of my orchestra mates (and ESNCM teachers) at Casa Nova restaurent, and had very delicious Italian ham and cheese - it tasted of something, contrary to the cheese and sliced meat we've found in the supermarked.
During the evening while we were talking to the Norwegian timpanist (from ESNCM orchestra) and his wife, first two Danes came over and said hello (I had attended a course with one of them in Århus two years ago) and then some Norwegians. Indeed a small town of Bethlehem.
Biking home from Bethlehem was a bit challenging, because the big iron gate at the checkpoint was closed. Luckily the soldiers opened it for a car going into Bethlehem, and then let us through after seing our visas - and informed us that the gate normally is closed at midnight.
