Bloated and drunk on an expensive bottle of wine hastily guzzled down, we ran to see "O", the flagship Cirque du Soleil show. It's an almost plotless, meandering show set to Enya-like nonsense music, but it's a visual tour de force with amazing choreography. Throw in some scary acrobatics, and you've got a mega-hit on your hands. Very strange and unique, and compelling entertainment. Unfortunately, we both struggled to stay awake after that poorly chosen meal, to the point where I was physically holding my eyes open.

We (and our quarters) then went to see Zumanity, the softporn version of Cirque du Soleil. It was mildly entertaining, with the drag queen MC being the biggest hit, and some of the acts were impressive, but it's pretty far from the mainstream Cirque du Soleil, much more of a burlesque act which didn't use the acrobatic skills for which Cirque is famous. Our seats were cool, though, bright red ovestuffed couches down at the front. Somchai took that weirdly angled photo from our seats below the stage, and then one of the staff yelled at him and told him no photos were allowed.
