Last night in Taipei!!

Hi all!  I know, I've been slacking off, but the heat and the humidity here really have made me super exhausted. Plus Rads has cable. 

Radhika got tickets to the Chinese Opera's rendition of Mulan (not Disney version). It was a totally awesome cultural experience!
Mulan, her suitor, and random swordsman. 

It was pretty interesting to watch a Chinese opera and experience the difference in musicality from western operas. Seemed a bit more dissonant, but that seemed to be because the stringed instrument was fretless, add in the singing style, wham, dissonance. 

Here we are with Mulan!  She was very tall in comparison to the other actors. I was surprised!

Okay, I'm coming home tomorrow, so I'll take the opportunity to finish and post my missing entries. 

Later gators!!
