my school got all the english teachers tickets to the sichuan opera and i think we saw "white snake". a friend of mine was able to give me an idea of what was going on. never would have expected an opera to contain wushu and acrobatics, but it beats fat people in viking hats!

i considered getting the 3 kingdoms collection because it had english subs, but i figured since i haven't read the book yet and its wicked expensive, i'd put it off.

i saw a lot of the monkey king show because it plays like every day in china, but i thought it was mostly just silly. again, i'd have to read the book first.

i read the "dream of red mansion" (heng lou meng), so it would be cool to see a subbed version of that.

if you're really interested in the water margin series, we might be able to work out a sale--as long as it doesn't interfere with martialartsmart.com business
