The Bourg Bucket List: #12: Go to Chinenye’s house in Schiltigheim & #2: Go to the Ballet

The bucket list adventures continue! This week I crossed two things off the list: Going to Schiltigheim and seeing the ballet at the Opéra house. On Thursday night, my partner-in-crime Alaina and I took the tram over to the neighborhood of Schiltigheim, which is located about 15 minutes north from the center of Strasbourg. Getting there was an experience, mainly because it was a definite hike to get from my homie Chinenye’s house to the tram stop (about a 15-20 minute walk), and missing the last tram home wasn’t necessarily a highlight. But the neighborhood was super cute, and the houses were very adorable! The next day, we all went to the ballet, which was a contemporary ballet showcase called Opus Corpus. While I normally enjoy more classical ballet, this modern spectacular was interesting and got very intense towards the end… Overall, I would recommend people go and see it! It was also my first time in the opera house, which was a gorgeous building, despite all the scaffolding and remodeling going on outside. Alors, great progress this weekend, and the quest to conquer the bucket list goes on!
