Evening of Chinese Splendor @ Hollywood Bowl

High Notes:

1. Not just one, but FIVE dragons before the show even started,  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   one dragon during the show, 
   
   
   and a flaming dragon with fireworks at the end of the show.  
   
2. Perry So conducted the LA Philharmonic and looked unexpectedly young for someone so talented.
3. The concert brought together generations with classical pianist Rueibin Chen, beloved folk singer Song Zuying, and pop star Wang Leehom.  The lineup made for a fun family activity. 
4. Wang Leehom's cover of his uncle, Li Jian-fu's, hit song Descendants of the Dragon  
5. All the performers on stage together for Time to Say Goodbye.  Wow, Song Zuying's voice is amazing 
   

Low Notes: 

1. I know it was an outdoor concert, so you can bring whatever you want to eat, but stinky tofu definitely should not be one of them.   
2. So this is just a personal low note, but seeing Wang Leehom play piano, violin, AND sing really made me wish I excelled at something, anything!
3. I've never seen so many Chinese people in one place outside of China.  Having been to China, I know people don't seem to follow any traffic rules (or rules of courtesy in crowds).  It was a pushy, rough herd of people.  First time I've ever gotten stuck in the tunnel while exiting...
