Opener of first day Sean Wong is not only successful in music but in business also- in his country he has some shops.

After singing Sean losed his head a bit and wanted to run out of the scene without taking flowers, specially prepared for each singer. But host finally managed to give him his bunch. BTW Karen Polidano, singer from Malta sang this song with Sean standing behind the scenes and waiting for her turn. She told that song that opened 13^th Voice of Asia festival is well known to her, and she likes it a lot.

After perfomance Sean told us that he had lack of breath, cause he didn't stepped at the scene but ran to it.

Contestants waited for their turn at night-club "Premier", situated at Respublica Hall. There was made a big screen which broadcasted the event. Contestants sitting near their tables could eat or drink something, and we saw Zikkie and Ceca Slavcovic drinking beer together. But nobody was drinking alcohol.

Ceca told us about her impressions:

- When we arrived here we decided to eat only Kazakhstan food. We have already eaten meat of camel and sheep. And of course we tried vodka. Best one appeared to be "Kazakhstan", it's even better than "Finland".

• Weren't you afraid to get drunk at unknown country?
• Not at all. Yugoslavians know how to drink!

Last one to sing was Aldabergen Zhaksybaev. After it he looked pale, tired and nervous. But full of optimism:
