The Circus

We went the circus on Friday night and a truly horrifying and awkward experience. The arena smelled like animal urine and looked like it was from Soviet times. Also most of the performers were Russian and the talking was in Russian so I couldn't understand anything. The safety equipment was on par with Latvian standards (meaning there was little to none) so I kept thinking that people were going fall down from the trapeze with the greatest of ease. The poor bears looked like they needed to eat something and they had this plus 60 year old clown that was really not funny (maybe if I could have understood what he was saying it would have been more entertaining). All in all it was an interesting cultural experience..to say the least.
