Mind you I have seen several of their shows, so I might be a bit spoiled, but I feel a bit like - once you have seen one, you have seen them all, as even though the stage looks different and there are different performers, the newness of it was gone for me. That's my personal opinion, other people might think something completely different! It is mostly acrobats, but there are some other performances as well.

I've noticed a lot of promotional posters popping up in Amsterdam, and might consider going there with the boyfriend. I love all kinds of shows (and most artsy things, actually) but if it's too "abstract" I don't think I'll like it that much. Is it mostly acrobatics or are there other things involved as well?

The public transport stop on the 25th is very annoying indeed, you are basically stuck from going anywhere in London. I haven't found a bik yet, anything on wheels would do really. Worst case scenario is that I stay home on the 25th. But maybe I can find someone who can give me a lift on the 24th when I am there. Cirque du Soleil is not a traditional circus, I have seen them before and really like their shows, they are very fairy tale like. And I wish you hadn't remembered ... :-) Generally to all you postcard-ers : there is no rush! I like them coming in one at the time, it makes it all last longer :) No we don’t have xmas stamps here like in the Netherlands, that would be nice!

Your card is on its way now, too. A little belated, but I bribed the stage coach driver and gave the coach horses an extra carrot each, and they’ll try to make it to the coast in no time. If the sea isn’t too stormy, there’s hope they will arrive in London in time to deliver the card before Christmas. I am looking forward to the giggling in my letter box!

Shutting down the public transport will probably result in a 'world-wide traffic jam'. If you can't get hold of a bike, maybe you can find some rollerskates instead... I saw CdS on TV lately. It's quite different from the circuses (Is this the way to spell it?) I went to when I was just a boy (age-wise that is, I'm still a boy at heart).
