It was my first try for attend American's activity. That was break dance on Jan 29th 2011 at international center. In fact I didn't like music concert and I didn't attend any concert before. Culture of American is diverse and Americans have great interest in music, so I felt excited to attend that concert. Two player of guitar shared and presented songs that acquired admiration of the audience. Generally it was not bad experience.
