I returned home from Singapore this morning, brrrr.... from 30 degrees to minus 17, on frozen trainstations, waiting for trains that don't arrive. Winter in Holland. Only sketches left of my trip.
Last Tuesday we were having our lunch in a courtyard of a large office and shopping complex, when quite unexpectedly a group of 20 performers arrived to show us a traditional dragon dance. Drums, music, acrobatics, a showfight of lions and dragons. Most impressive was that the lion (with 2 men under it) jumped and tumbled over a set of columns, each at least 2,5 meter high. It was so well done that the dragons and lions really looked alive.

Beautifull rene, Marian Zwiers
Dank je voor je impressie.
Terrific! Your sketch looks alive too.
Thanks Marian, Geert-Jan and Balaji.
Hé Balaji, your site is quite quiet for some time?)
behoorlijk gladjes en netjes geregisseerd zo'n performance, denk ik, maar toch met veel charme (denkende aan hoe singapore is). ik hoorde gisteren tot mijn schrik dat johannes van damme de pianohandelaar was waar ik als kind altijd mijn bladmuziek haalde..
Was dat niet die nederlander die in Singapore werd geëxecuteerd? De straffen opvanalles zijn daar niet mals, een taxichauffeur vertelde me van lijfstraffen met een bamboeriet....
ja, inderdaad
