A little bit of culture in Tianjin

Over the Chinese National Day holiday we had the chance to attend the ballet at Tianjin Grand Theatre.  We saw the Mariinsky Ballet’s performance of Swan Lake.  Ballet is not usually our first choice of entertainment but I have always heard of Swan Lake and know it is one of the most famous stories and wanted to see it for myself.  We thoroughly enjoyed the show and it was obvious that the talent on display was top notch.

We of course couldn’t take pictures during the show but here are a few shots of the curtain call.

Here’s a little peek into school life here in Tianjin:

The wall in one word…Great!

Today along with a large group of teachers and their families we ventured out for our first real touristy experience.  We drove about 2 1/2 hours North East to reach a part of the Great Wall.  It was very exciting to experience this amazing wonder of the world.  Despite a bit of pollution and a gruelling climb we truly enjoyed the day out of the city.
