- S.i.M.p.L.e -: the great moscow state classical circus

it was a fantastic night indeed, worth to spend my 300 rubles( ~ RM 44 ) & my 2 and a half hour there watching a great performance at the great moscow state classical circus. it was opened in 1971 n was designed n built by a group of architects n engineers. there are 5 interchangeable rings located in a huge machine hall at the depth of 18 meters. with perfectly adjusted mechanical and electronic the replacement of 1 ring with another takes 5 - 6 minutes. 1 huge 13 meters ring goes down, slides aside while another takes its place n is lifted up by a 'giant hand'. all rings which included horse ring, ice ring, water ring, illusion ring and light ring are used for the shows in the circus but we were juz fortunate enough to see 3 of them: the horse ring, ice ring and water ring. as usual, we went mac donald to take our dinner be4 the show. ha....i ordered 'big testi' again, my favorite, wat to do. then we were late bout 5 minutes for the show due to some problem but we were managed to find out seat at the 20th row in sector A, still the view from our seats are considered nice. it started with some dances , a little of bit high school musical alike n some performances by clowns. tat really impressed me, coz both of the clowns are multi talented from different aspects such as playing instruments, dances( i like the tip tap dance ) and at the same time as an entertainer. wat impressed me the most was the background music were played by a live musical band. the song they performed included jazz(the most) n sentimental, n out of a sudden, a middle aged musician was blowing a song by elton john-can u feel the love tonight with his saxophone. this really created a romantic atmosphere but unfortunately i was not able to record it down coz too attracted with the performance. thereafter followed by the interchanged of the normal ring to the ice ring n after tat to the horse ring n lastly was the water ring. the timing of the process of the interchange of the ring with another was well arranged. in between got a lot of performances such as acrobatics, animals performing n so on. had a wonderful night yesterday n straight headed bac to hostel . the next destination of mine ll be orchestra i think. so wait for me, i m coming!!!! n unfortunately, a bio test is waiting for me tomorrow....hai...
