I couldn't recall when was the last time I went to a concert at Zhongshan Hall, maybe never before in my life. At 7 o'clock sharp, the long queue started moving, my heart started pumping. When I stepped on the red carpet of the hall, I couldn't help been amazed by the grandeur interior and remarkable history . Zhongshan Hall was former Taipei City Hall, constructed from November 23rd 1932, completed in November 26th, 1932, the forth-largest City Hall of Japan at that time, smaller only to the City Halls of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Ide Kaoru (井手薫) was the main architect. After World War II, the former Taipei City Hall was renamed Zhangshan Hall and functioned as an official meeting place for welcoming foreign guest of honors.
This evening, we enjoyed three marvelous choruses. Many thanks go to Conductor Hung for six free concert tickets.

It was a successful urban rural cultural exchange concert. The Wu-ling Elmentary School Choir from the East lead all choir performers to close the concert with a group singing and won a huge round of applause from the full house. The aboriginal tribe kids were like angles from heaven. Their voices lingered for a long time.
After the concert, we had a joyful snack at Rido Cafe' near Zhongshan Hall. Maggie agreed to shoulder the responsibility of the D67 Toastmasters Chorus for the second term, from December 2009 till January 2010. What would have been a better news than that?
