Saturday the 25th
The first day of the week…Saturday…The breakfast buffet has fruits including mango, watermelon, grapefruit and orange slices, sometimes other melon, kiwi, fruit salad (usually apples and watermelon in orange juice, can peaches, pineapple, mixed fruit and more.
There are a host of breads, there are cereals, juices, coffees, teas, an omelette bar, pancakes, beans, sausage (which are really hotdogs) boiled eggs. I will include a picture soon.
We ate and went into Shabab studios, Bart and Adam (from the Embassy) met us there. They are going to check the potential live broadcast place. Many issues about that still to be worked out. I lead a small vocal warm up regarding primarily breath and voice. The English vowel chart (as I know no other) as a basis for warming up. Bart came back to capture some of the discussion about the subjects they want to write about. The following broad issues came out of the 2 hour discussion: Terrorism, Youth Idleness, Poor Education, National Identity.
While these topics at the moment are very broad, they will have to do the work to narrow down the subject and to target our audience of youth 13-25.
On the way back to the hotel, Saeed took us to an ATM then a super market where we bought teas and I got toothpaste and a few munchies for the room. Then he took us to the hotel.
I did some online work, budget work, reviewed some acting notes, and around six thirty Kerry and I ordered dinner and watched the first episode of Dexter…what a weird show…:)
