Pick Out Your Cloud
Dec. 14th, 2008 10:56 pmGoing in to London the clouds were so low that the tops of all the bank buildings over by Canary Wharf were lost in haze.
I've had dim sum, bought a couple of really cheap handbags (mmm sales), been to a fascinating tea shop, caught up with Sarah, and been to see Monkey.
Monkey is fantastic and if you have a chance to go and see it while it's still on at the O2 I do recommend it. It's a combination of music and acrobatics and animation and stageplay. The cast are all Chinese and it's in Mandarin, but with screens off to each side giving English when it matters. The costumes are amazing and some of the acrobatics are just stunning and it's pretty funny sometimes, too. It's such an interesting fusion of... all sorts of things.
That's the limit of my oh-so-intelligent assessment at quarter to eleven at night. *g*
(Mum, you were wondering what Journey to the West is: wikipedia article which might illuminate things at least a little, and the thing I went to see today.)
