elly dancer and a crazy flexible girl, who were both really young, and two clowns. These clowns were totally silly. I'm not sure exactly what was going on but they started running around yelling 'help me!!' and then one comes right over to me and gives me a giant hug!! Ahh! I was quite unsure what to do, basically doing nothing and looking at the German lady sitting beside me seemed to be an appropriate action. Later in the show the same clown had a bucket of popcorn and was walking around to the people in the front row (and obviously we were v.i.p. enough to be sitting in the front row) and letting them take some popcorn. He skipped past us and then went over to a little kid and threw a piece of popcorn at him and he caught it in his mouth, then he turns... looks at me... points at me.... runs over to me. Then he starts to throw popcorn at ME. I'm not too coordinated and catching popcorn in my mouth while a clown is throwing it at me isn't my favorite activity so I started hitting it away. After three times... HE THREW THE WHOLE BUCKET AT ME. Well I am never going to a German circus again :) But, it was pretty funny.

Kinder Circus
Oops! Next time I go to a circus, I think I will check if it is for kids or not. Or maybe here in Germany it's just a known fact that only the kids go to the circus. Anyhow, it was quite an interesting and funny time! They had tons of animals, horses, donkeys, dogs, camels, tiny horses... They had a belly dancer and a crazy flexible girl, who were both really young, and two clowns. These clowns were totally silly. I'm not sure exactly what was going on but they started running around yelling 'help me!!' and then one comes right over to me and gives me a giant hug!! Ahh!
