Cirque Du Soleil Verakai

I had seen an ad on the side of a bus or train last week that Cirque Du Soleil was in Munich. I've always wanted to see them live since I was a kid watching them on Canadian TV. So I had been toying with the idea, looking at ticket prices, trying to find other people to go with me... and then my day off came and Lisa convinced me to go by myself. I found out about a special offer for 60% off the best seats so I grabbed my stuff, printed out my e-ticket, got a ride from Hannes to the bahnhof, and was on my way.
After jockeying with school kids to get a seat on the train I made the hour and a half trip to Munich and then took the U-Bahn up to the Olympic Park. I got there early and got an ice cream bar at the ridiculous price of 4 euro(should have read the sign first!) and looked at all the stuff for sale in the gift shop area. Then once they opened the main tent I found my seat in the 5th row(Thanks to the 60% off offer for that) and waited for the show to start. The show was a total of 2 hours long with a half hour intermission in between. I found Youtube videos for some of my favorite acts...

These guys were amazing!


The Russian Swings were my favorite part. I was in awe!


It was totally worth it and I'm so happy I went. It was a dream come true!!
Another show is going to be in Munich again in September and I might have to go then too! :-D
