My creativity is struggling today.
As is my ability to get a decent night's rest. Ну, ладно.
Last night, so yesterday morning for you Americanskis, I went to a real Russian Circus with some people from my study abroad program. I'd like to take a moment to thank UT for buying me front row tickets to this show. Hereafter I will describe what I saw:
*** If anyone is a member of PETA or has cried during an episode of Animal Cops on Animal Planet, just scroll through this next part real quick.
Once we got in and found our seats--in the front row because it's more important that we college kids see the circus than these little children-- an orchestra started playing music and the lights went down. Unfortunately so did my ability to take pictures. These Russians are not eager to share their secrets. Hence, my descriptive skills have got step up their game. Leehgoooo.
Bears on leashes, check
Bears jumping over dogs, check.
Bears driving motorcycles with dogs jumping on and off of them, check.
Magic tricks, check.
Trapeze artists, cool check.
People dressed like the Black Eyed Peas in glow in the dark futuristic clothing doing dances and stunts in the air, whaaaaat? check.
Girls in scandalous clothing, check.
Girls in scandalous clothing doing things much to close to chair dancing in front of small children, awkward check.
Girls being transformed into kittens, unfortunate check.
Baboons, nasty check.
Baboons walking tight ropes, check.
Baboon walking right in front of me while I refused to make eye contact, scary check.
Tons of men in spandex, obvious check. This is the circus.
Men doing what looked to be interpretive dancing, fantastic check.
Lions in a ring with a lion tamer, check.
Six lions in a ring with a tap-dancing lion tamer, cooler check.
Lion peeing right in front of me, not-cool-dude check.
Light show, check.
Light show that looked like Ellie Goulding's music video while the instrumental version of the Brian Adams song from Spirit of the Cimmarron played in the background, ultimate awesome check.
Me being thoroughly impressed with the circus check.
Me considering dropping out of college to join the circus, still-an-option check.
Gotta go eat breakfast. I'll try and see if anyone got a picture of those bears..
До Свидания!
