Before I leave home I went with the other TV's which are guests at my home to the historic city core of Villingen.
Villingen-Schwenningen is a cooperation city of the old town Villingen and the town of Schwenningen. In former times there was the border between Baden and Württemberg between the both towns. In the early 1970ies the federal state Baden-Württemberg was built. At the same time the double city was established. The reason for our trip was a huge bazar market at the old main streets. Mom found a parking lot outside the old city walls, which sorround the old city. (Nowadays the city Villingen is much larger than it used to be when these walls were built) ![]() On the way to the market, we saw this building which used to be a monk convent. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This building with the beautiful sign was a restaurant. ![]() Villingen has a cathedral. ![]() ![]() I couldn't do many pictures inside because I didn't want to use the flashlight. ![]() Besides the cathedral is this fountain, made by a famous local artist. ![]() It was quite to difficult to take a picture of the bazar market because of all those people there. |

Today my host introduced me about The Music of Bali.
The music of Bali is extremely complex and vibrant. The original purpose of music here again is to serve religious beliefs, accompanying dances or wayang theaters. The traditional Balinese orchestra, known as gamelan, is composed of various forms of percussions, with notes overlapping and criss crossing among the various kinds. There is a number of string and woodwind instruments, but most of the players, which can range from a few to several dozen, sit behind various kinds of metallophones, gongs, and xylophones. Each gamelan has its own tuning, preventing instruments from being interchanged from one gamelan to another. Love B |
