Welsh Word of the Day: Senedd (Seneth): the main governmental building
I feel like a diplomat! We met the First Minister (a.k.a the Welsh President) at the Senedd (pronounced Seneth) which is their main governmental building.
At the Ceremony we were serenaded by the Male Voice Choir of Wales! A little history lesson would include that the choirs were started during the Industrial Era where the coal miners would sing together in their off times and the sound was just beautiful. They sang some Welsh songs (in Welsh and about Wales) and then the well known Rhythm of life (I believe those who were in chorus with me will know what I mean) and a world favorite, Hey Jude.
I am so honored by the Welcome we received! This is the first time this program has ever been in Wales so the Universities, government, and people are beside themselves with joy, excitement and welcome.
So next we toured the Civic center which was full of huge rock buildings with amazing carvings and structure. The saying a picture speaks a thousand words is really the best bet in this situation so enjoy the photos I've chosen! (The rest can be seen in my Cardiff folder on Photobucket and again the password is Cardiff). So below are all the government buildings and University buildings in the Civic Center!
