The Seiler Piano Duo

Yesterday I went to a piano concert in the nearby town of Goma. One of the teachers I work with at the middle school invited me to see her neighbors, who are apparently world famous pianists. Every year they do a show in a an old Buddhist temple near their house that is over 300 years old (it's been heavily renovated). The concert was pretty good. Here's the Duo:



I don't have picture of the building, but I can probably get them later from my friend. I met a few other interesting people. First was Oto, another neighbor who spoke really good English. He's in his 20s and a carpenter. Apparently he renovated the roof of the concert hall. Anyway, I was confused when my friend introduced me to him because she called him "Otosan". "Otousan" is the Japanese word for father, so when she kept calling "father, father" through a window and all I saw was a guy about the same age as her, I was very confused.

Second were two Japanese women who sat next to me at the concert. They were sisters and very friendly. One kept giving me small snacks and a juice box. I'm not quite sure exactly what she said, but I think she was trying to set me up with a homestay (she works or volunteers at some kind of international center). It was a pretty good time.
