So I tread along the aisle trying not to express glee being surrounded by tons of CDs. Then one of the staffs shows up with big smile asking, "Would you like some tea or coffee?"
Here is a place I'd love to drop by to buy records or just even to get some freshness. It's a specialized record shop for classical music. It's not as regular as can happen everywhere because classical music is not being enjoyed by broad and various people here in my country although we have some particular enthusiasts with solid background on it. So there have been huge concerns on its possibilities when it has first been announced that a classical music record shop was going to be built at the very central area in the city. And for the record, classical music market has been coming through tough time worldwide.
But, fortunately and proudly, I heard recently that it's planning to move to a larger space. Like people working there said, it doesn't mean they made a big profit in past years. But it's really good for them and all of us loving classical music as well. I'm so happy for them.
You may also stop by here even if you are not going to buy anything or not even a fan of classical music. You will always be welcomed with warm a cup of tea. So if you happen to visit my country, why don't you try? :) If the time is so perfect, you're gonna get invited a wine party!
