Chinese Acrobats!!

Tonight we attended a Chinese Acrobat show performed by the China National Acrobatic Troupe. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The things these people could do was amazing. They had everything from a tight-rope walker, to people jumping through hoops about 15-20 feet in the air. It was incredible. We all just sat in awe for the entire show.

My favorite part was the tight-rope walker. He was amazing. He not only walked along the rope, but he walked on his hands on it and rolled along it and swung it back and forth. It was just incredible. Also there was an act where these women rode bicycles and at one point they had about 20 people on the bicycle just wheeling around stage like it was nothing. I don't know how they do it Unfortunately they don't allow pictures so I wasn't able to take any. I guess its a good idea. We wouldn't want the flash to through them off and have twenty people on a bicycle come tumbling down. It was such cool show.

Zai jian!
