The 'Royal' Treatment
The Royal London Circus is in town- I watched it with my daughter from the C seats on Friday afternoon. The seats are terrible- I don't think they should be called seats at all. They're benches.. with gaps below them.. and if you drop anything from your 'seat', you've gotta go below the circus tent to retrieve it. Why bother having the C seats anyways? They're small, uncomfortable and you can't lean back because you'll fall off if you do.
I had initially thought that since the circus is a ring, any view is an appropriate view. I thought wrong. In fact, I'm having pain in the arse from sitting on that blasted bench all night. Note to self: if ever we're going to watch the RLC again, we'll get the better seats- those which have earned the right to be called seats!
As for the show itself- it was alright. I'm not the circus person I thought I was. I particularly enjoyed the magic show and the 2 guys on the rotating circles in the beginning. Other than that I was pretty bored. There was nothing new. You'd probably have seen them on TV or on previous shows. Shouldn't the performers reinvent themselves or something?
Earlier on Friday me and the boys went to Petrosains. Now, that was a treat! Loved what they've done with the displays & games. There are also lots of assistants on and about in case you need to ask questions. Maybe 1 tiny disappointment was the dinosaur diorama- just T-Rex without his posse. The diorama was more focused on how the earth evolved and how petroleum came to be. Well, it is Petronas' baby- what did I expect?
