….unless it is posted on my blog that is ;)
As proof I offer up the following photo of Betty Camp dancing in a Tibetan conga line from our final dinner in Tibet.
There is little question that Betty and others in our group getting up and appearing in the Tibetan line dance was the highlight of the show. That is partially because they had such a good time doing it and partially because the show… well… not sure how to say this… the show sorta sucked. It was mostly loud, over-modulated recorded music and some Tibetan men and women in costume dancing along with the music. We could not understand the music and the dancing was just kinda blaah. Kathy had two of the funniest lines of the night. The first was when she said she felt like she was at an elementary school play. The second came while watching the Tibetan women in costume dancing their repetitive dance to grating music – it prompted Kathy to say, “I feel like I am at Disney on the It’s a Small World ride.” That one left the table howling.
The dinner theater performance is known as the Crazy Yak show because it starts with 2 costumed Yak’s running around the stage. I kept on waiting for the Yaks to make a return appearance in the show, but they were only there for a couple minutes at the start and then disappeared. I would hardly call them crazy.
There was one other nice thing to come out of the evening – I got someone to snap a nice picture of my table toasting our time in Tibet with some Tibetan barley wine. I thought the wine was delicious but several other folks did not like it. Ahh well, that just allowed me to finish it for them.
That’s it for Tibet…. Up next, Chengdu, the city of the Spicy Women… and the baby pandas!
