Cirque du Soleil

This was fun, trying to find the place that is. We had our tickets booked but we had to pick them up and pay for them by 4pm otherwise they'd be sold to someone in line. We dumped our luggage at our hotel across the road from the Nagoya Station and followed the instructions we were given from the circus staff via email. Their instructions sucked!

We ended up asking a staff member of a shopping centre where it was, she managed to point us in the right direction but didnt tell us how far to go. We walked around for ages and finally said screw this so we went to the biggest most luxurious hotel in Nagoya, someone there is bound to speak english and they did. The foyer for the hotel looked pretty snazzy which happened to be on the 15th floor and the rooms went all the way up to the 50 something floor. Megan asked a staff member and they spent 10 minutes making phone calls trying to find out exactly where it was.

It was in the right direction we were going, it was just another kilometre or so up the road. So ahead we went coming across all the people which had just seen the previous show so the paths and roads were packed.

This show was called Dralion and it was awesome just like all the different versions they have around the world. If you've ever been to one you will know what im talking about it. We had prime seats right in the middle so we got to see all the action right in front of us. The only thing I didn't like about the show is when they make a mistake they never did the trick again to prove that it was possible by them. There was about 4 or 5 mistakes (that I noticed) and only one was tried again.

An excellent show though, if you have the chance to go see one then do so.

No pictures unfortunately at this time as we weren't allowed camera's.

After the show we headed back to our hotel and stopped of for dinner and of all the billion Japanese restaurants there are we managed to pick one that was a chain of another we had out first meal at in Shinjuku. I guess it was their engrish menu which drew us to the place but we didnt realise it was a chain until we sat down and saw the menu.

Nagoya was a very large and clean city and was the one which had two huge Loius Vitton stores across the road from one another at "Midland Square" :). Would love to see Midland with one of those stores there.. one day.. maybe.
