NANTA!

We just saw the most amazing show. Many families had told us about NANTA! and it's really worth seeing. Piper's comment as we left the theatre was 'that was AMAZING!'. We all enjoyed it. I even got hauled up on stage in a race to make dumplings and percussion all at the same time...which is an achievement for little ol' tone deaf and uncoordinated me..

Dinner followed across from the hotel...I unfortunately had to stick to boiled rice because of the sesame thing, but Tim and Piper had a delicious meal. Curiously the meal came with a soup which looked like Tom Yum...but apparently was so hot Tim thought he was hallucinating :-) Pip also had to put out the fire but she pushed through. Piper has really enjoyed eating out but there is something really razzing her up. She's not sleeping until after 10pm.

Just on the sesame thing - it's pretty funny watching the reactions of waiters when I show them my little sign in Korean. I had it translated such a long time ago I can't remember what it says, but they read it, then they read it out loud to anyone listening, then they look at me like I have just grown a second head, then they look at me with great pity and then they shake their head and make murmering, soothing noises and then look hopefully at the chef so they can find me something to eat. I hate to admit it but Starbucks has been my saviour... and it's about 50 metres from the hotel...yay, plus the other 6 or so in the next 1 kilometre in either direction. Lots of coffee shops here - dare I say even more than Adelaide.
