Mongolian circus!

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

We attended a Mongolian circus show tonight, and it was wonderful. Somehow I think I was expecting acrobats and contortionists, but thought there might be a few clowns or whatever. The thinking was that it was something that A might enjoy.

The show was dazzling! Women dangling from hoops from the ceiling, flying about on trapeze swings, and descending from voluminous scarves that hung from the rafters, and men tossing each other into the air. It's difficult to describe, but it was a spectacular performance.

Wow.
