In Taipei, day 1: Avril Lavigne's Concert

Avril Lavigne came to Taipei on Friday night for her Black Star Tour, to see her perform at the Nangang Exhibition hall. My mom, my brother, and I went up to see her. This is actually the second time we've seen her concert. The first time was on her Best Damn Tour, her third tour, which was almost 3 years ago. There were a total of three sections, A, B, and C. We stood in the section C, which was far from the stage, so Avril Lavigne looked pretty tiny.

We stood in line for almost three hours, and when we were allowed to walk in, we waited for her concert to start for an hour. Then, because there were no seats, we stood for more than an hour when Avril performed. So, totally, we stood for about 5 hours. All of our backs (because we were carrying our bags) and feet were incredibly sore. But it was worth it.

The concert rocked!! Avril looked so beautiful that night. I love her hair, too. Avril's vocals improved very much, compare to the last time we saw her concert. She put on a great show! However, due to security, we weren't able to take much pictures. But we did manage to catch some.

(Some of these pictures my brother took.)

Somebody kindly offered to take the picture of us together.

It was really hot.

Performed "He Wasn't".

The intro to her song, "Alice". I love this intro.

Avril sang "Alice."

My brother recorded this from his camera, so the quality was different.

Avril performed "Stop Standing There." I love her smile at 0:14 seconds.

The concert was over... sadly.

My awesome brother and I.

We hung around with these two extremely nice students.

Awesome concert! Better than the last time she was here.

See Day 2.
