Today we had class in the morning and than came back and made lunch. After that, we went to the show Cirque du Soleil. The show was about a mile north of our apartment on Queensgate at Royal Albert Hall. It is right by the Imperial College. We went with everyone from our group including Scott and Shirley, our directors. The show was amazing, simply stunning. First of all, the Royal Albert Hall is about the nicest and most advanced venue for the show and secondly, the acts of the show were breathe taking. The acts ranged from olympic rings to unicycles to acrobats to singers. There were some very impressive acts that words can't explain. They didn't allow pictures to be taken but, I took a couple but they didn't really turn out because it was incredibly dark.
View of one side of the Hall.
Our view of the stage. The turtle looking shell was a giant jungle gym with olympic "uneven bars" where they fly back and forth on and swing like monkeys. The floor was a giant trampoline so they were jumping all over the thing.
The ceiling of the Hall. Apparently these are used to acoustics. It prevents echos.
A view down the "nose bleed" seats where we sat. Turned out they were great seats.
Tomorrow we are off to Cambridge which will be fun and interesting to see.
Cheers
Jimmy
