Nice try Lao Che!



Went to a veggie restaurant that was pretty good, and checked out the olympic park. The water cube is amazing, but no matter how much Christopher insists, I refuse to believe that it is as thin as cellophane in any spot.
Later that evening we went to the circus, aka "Lao Che's Tea House."  Weird...  not as traditional as we were hoping, but what an act.  First we heard a woman sing a song about how awesome Lao Che's Tea House is, and why everyone loves it and it is so popular.  Then we saw a freak whistle like a kazoo on steroids.  Didn't help that he made a face like a deformed duck when he did it.  Then some strange magic acts, followed by beijing's best "kids who like to play karate and break things with their foreheads, and live in their parents basements instead of getting out and getting a real life."  haha, sorry Lao Che, you were a fascinating evening, but won't get five stars from me!
