Elli on Day 15
June 21st - Today, we arrived in the city of Beijing once again after our journey from Shangri-La. After we arrived, we had dinner and then went to see a Chinese acrobatics show. It was breathtaking. The costumes were beautiful, the dancing was so very graceful, and the acrobatics were very skillful. I, personally, have mostly only seen acrobatic shows on television, so when I saw the live performance last night, I was just so amazed at the skills and how the whole show was pulled off. There were a couple of slip-ups, but overall, the show was very entertaining. What I found the most amusing were the silly poses that the guys struck every time they came on. The acrobats performed extremely dangerous stunts; however, all ended well and safetly for the performers. They all flexed into different and scary positions; at one point, it hurt myself to look at them. . . But all in all, the show turned out to be very beautiful and entertaining.

Elli, Im sure it confirms for you what you saw on the television is not a trick of the camera but the real thing!I can imagine the stealth and gracefulness of the performance and I am truly happy that you all were able to experience it first hand.
