Went inline skating over the weekend as I usually do. 4-wheel Salomons on Saturday, and 5-wheels on Sunday for distance and speed around the city…Skated to Hou Hai for early coffee next to the lake and then ended up in the afternoon at Beijing Exhibition Center Theater near the zoo. It was to see a performance of Aladdin  3-D…I was surrounded by children and their parents. I totally enjoyed sharing the performance with all those kids, as I am often like a kid myself! It was a live show of singing, dancing, acting, and excellent 3-D portions. Totally worth it if you get the chance to see it, and Parsons (DBA Mr Magic) is an old friend who steals the show in his many appearances. Very funny! And you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy it.

On Sunday, I stated skating in Wangfujing and went to hou hai for coffee, and then to The Village SLT, and then to Lido area, then back to Wangfujing. I can skate for 5 or 6 hours easily around the city. I skated through a hutong and saw a traditional Chinese wedding. So colorful. Glad I had my camera.

I like seeing weddings… especially traditional ones in the street…
