I watched two of the dancing and singing acts there, however, they couldn't really catch my attention. I kind of thought that it was weird for grown up people to dress up this way and jump around to those primal music sounds on stage. I understand that it is their tradition and their culture, but to me it just seemed out of place that people who usually look and do the same as everybody else dress up an act like traditional first nations people. I mean I get that it can be fun to dress up and get into a role for one day, but this seemed kind of different. In addition to that, I didn't enjoy the music too much and at least the second dancing act was a little boring - they were mostly walking in a circle and making sweeping movements with their hands. So to sum up, the festival just wasn't my thing.
Next I took the bus to get to a bakery in order to check out their bread. For some reason, I didn't like that bakery too much when I arrived there; they wouldn't sell me half a bread and the prices were a bit too high. Nevertheless, since I had had to walk a while to get there, I didn't want to leave empty handed. Thus I bought some rye bread. I guess the bread wasn't too bad but it definitely wasn't worth its price (7.50 CAD).
The way back home took a while as the bus I wanted to take was late and when it finally arrived, it only drove for a few minutes until it stopped because someone needed an ambulance or something. I had to transfer to another bus to finally get home.
When I arrived, I didn't feel energetic enough to go out again. Consequently, I ended up having a nice movie evening with snacks and 'White Collar' together with Katrina.
