Went downtown today and there was the inaugural Harbour Festival going on. Quite by chanc we passed by a street performer named Mr. Spin from Adelaide. An incredible juggler and mono-cycle rider with an excentric laughter. We enjoyed his show so much that I ended up paying him 20 dollars to support him on the road. He gave us a DVD of his performance.

Then we went to see the show by a Chinese acrobat troupe at Sky City. This was so appropriate to commemorate the Chinese new year's day which was today. The performances were quite good, the talk by the MC quite dull, and everything was inbued with a sort of lethargy.
My son said he saw today the difference between individualism and totalitalianism. Well, yes, both performances were good, but we will remember Mr. Spin much better than the Chinese group.
At night saw fireworks from the north shore.
