My New Favourite Building in the World

Tried to get last minute tickets for the ballet at the National Centre of Performing Arts tonight. Of course they were sold out - which meant I had time to wonder around the theatre watching people and watching the building.

Designed by French architect Paul Andreu, the building really seems to float on water.

Throngs of people were there watching a laser light show appearing on the building. Then I walked to Tian An Men square. Man were there lots of people walking around. And I saw maybe three non-Chinese tourists in all. OK ... maybe more than three - but still - I think my definition of "crowd" got redefined tonight.
