Cirque Shanghai - Bai Xi

What can twenty dollars do?

• Cover charge for a night club - $20, and then in the club...
• 5 bottles of beer - $20
• 4 jager bomb shots - $20
• 2 glasses of long island - $20

There are a lot more things that $20 can do, and I just make these examples for fun. Actually, I did spent a very worthy $20 last weekendfor Cirque Shanghai - Bai Xi at Navy Pier

Cirque Shanghai is a Chinese acrobat (??) performance group from Shang Hai, China, and this is the second year they got invited to perform in Chicago's Navy Pier. If you are Chinese, I guess you may see those acrobat performances on TV before; however, for just $20, you got a full one and half an hour of exciting, entertaining and extraordinarily talented non-stop live performances! Actually I wanted to get the $30 ticket, but it was sold out for the day I went, but since the Skyline Stage is not that big, the $20 ticket will do just fine. But I would still recommend getting the $30 ticket if possible.

The acrobat players are excellent; their skills and performances are spectacular; but somehow I feel bad for them, because most of the players are just 10-15 years old kids and I saw a documentary about acrobats' tear dropping training life -- Life is not easy: no pain, no gain.
