• Cultural events keep coming. Tashi and I went to see what we thought would be a shadow puppet performance by a wonderful troop Savanaphom(sic?) We really wanted to see the story of Hanuman, a Hindu hero who leads a monkey army to defeat a demon king, Ravana. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman) Instead, we g0t to see a wonderful percussion performance including several dances and a monkey rampage skit/dance performed without the traditional masks.
  

Then, on an opposite end of the cultural spectrum we went to Miss Cindy's Bar to see young performers in drag belt out (if lipsynching can be belted) in Mandarin, Cantonese and English various numbers. The interesting part of this was catching them trying to synch without understanding a single word. (Ahem, mostly it didn't work except in this pictured number were two women fight over a boyfriend.)
