From Sydney to the formula 1 grand prix in Shanghai, Beijing, South Korea, Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine and Europe. Final destination by train is London. Hopping on a flight to Finland, then on to Japan and finally back to Sydney.

Beijing Opera

CHINA | Thursday, 8 November 2007 | Views [137]

I went to the Opera last Sunday night. I was still feeling really ill but I'd paid for my ticket so I decided to go anyway.

There were so few people in the audience that I felt embarrassed for the performers. I don't think they did a bad job, one guy missed a catch when a sword was thrown and there was a moment when the timing of a fight went funny. It certainly didn't deserve to be so empty.

The English subtitles were handy though.

Here's where the photos are.
