THE PEKING ACROBATS!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I saw the Peking Acrobats perform.

Can I firstly just say I am so grateful to be going to a school where I get incredible opportunities like this.

Secondly, can I say that the show was literally and absolutely the most unbelieveable thing I've ever seen.

Where to start describing? How to try? Is it even worth trying?

The first ridiculously amazing thing was two girls lying on their backs with their feet in the air, spinning and flipping large porcelain vases with their feet. Then they switched to a table and an umbrella, spinning them with their toes.

Later, a girl stood on ballet point on top of another acrobat's head.

One girl balanced a pyramid of 26 filled cups on her nose and climbed up two ladders, one foot on each, that were on opposite ends of a teeter-toter.

And one man stacked 8 or 10 chairs on top of 4 wine bottles, then balanced on his hand on top of them. He was about 2 feet from the ceiling. Then he tipped the first chair on a diagonal and balanced on his hands again. Then he tipped it at a more dangerous angle and balanced on just one hand.

So you might be able to tell that I have no brain left because the acrobats blew it away. It is splattered on the back of my skull.

I seriously, seriously, strongly admonish everyone to seek out an opportunity to see the Peking Acrobats.
