50


Chaoyang Theater, Beijing, Friday night: We went to see an acrobat show. [Yes, that's a man balancing on a board on cylinder, holding curved bars on his head from which a woman hangs on either side and on top of which a boy balances on a board on a cylinder... and rolling the board so he can flip bowls on to his head. You know, nothing overly impressive. Impressive would be doing it without the three guys standing around.]

In answer to the question of whether it was better than Cirque du Soleil: I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil. It was undoubtedly far less expensive that show--that much is certain.
