Kralat

All before 8am. For those who envy my time here, there's always a down side. Sure, I live in an exotic country full of unique sights and sounds. And pests. This morning I locked my front door, put on my shoes and found a lump. I thought my sock was loose. But then it started moving. I took my shoe off and out popped a small kralat (cockroach). It skittered away, at least it didn't climb up my pants. Still was waking up so I wasn't quite fazed. Occupational hazard. - J

Circus

The Faculty of Circus of the Royal University of Fine Arts continues its monthly series with two performances in their practice hall located at RUFA's North Campus, Street 70 next to the Old Stadium.
Saturday and Sunday March 5 and 6 at 5:30pm.
Tickets riel 3,000 for Cambodians and $2.00 for foreigners.

Initiated by the circus students, this new series of weekend performances will take place once a month. Proceeds from the ticket sales will help augment the costs for future monthly performances and encourage their drive towards self sufficiency.

This month's performances are being funded in part by ticket sales from previous performances with additional support from the Kasumiso Foundation and produced in collaboration with Amrita Performing Arts and Sovanna Phum Khmer Arts Association.

For more information, please call 023-220424.

Please come out in support of the National School of Circus!
