New citay, new adventure

Woke up at 5am this morning to catch our flight to Nanning.  Couldn't have been in a worse mood, and that pretty much carried through until I got off the plane in Nanning.  I can't even tell you how amazing it was to see so much green and breathe so much fresh air.  I'll compare Nanning thus far, to a little bit more of a run down version of a Florida city.  It was in the 50's when we got out of the airport which was sooo refreshing after our week of grey skies, smog, and freezing temperatures in Xi'an.  We checked into our hotel today around noonish, all napped til around 3, and then went grocery shopping.  A bunch of people just left to see Avatar, but I'm pooped and spending waaaay to much money, so I decided to keep it a night in tonight and catch up on e-mails, reading, laundry and sleep.
Our last night in Xi'an was a good one.  We had our closing show, and I don't think I've ever had more fun with the show.  Especially the finale.  The house was packed and people went crraaaazy at the end.  Jonas has started doing back flips in the audience and it is absolutely hysterical to see everyone's reactions.  As crappy as we originally thought the script of this show was, we all bring such a wonderful energy to it.  I can't say enough how lucky and happy I feel to be in this show with these specific people.  Eric, our new Tyrone, flew in a couple days ago and has been watching and shadowing the show for the past few performances.  He had such wonderful things so say about it; that it is so great and refreshing to see a group of people so excited and energized about performing, and it was just so helpful to hear that type of compliment.  I think it's been more frustrating than any of us realized to have such a communication barrier between us and the audience, and never really get a gist of how the audience feels about the show. So yea, a big thanks to Eric, for that little boost in our spirit.
We will be having rehearsals with him this week and I can't wait to see what he does with Tyrone.  It's been fun seeing the differences between Dom and JoNathan and I'm psyched to see Eric's take.
Alright, well off to do some laundry.  Hope all is well!
