Day 53

   
Today I woke up feeling pretty miserable.  I've been coming down over the last couple days with some kinda cold.  Basically I'm achy, have a slight sore throat (probably a slight infection), and am coughing a lot.  I decided to just take it easy today, so that I can recuperate faster and get back into the swing of things.

Asides from that, in the evening, we went to see Dirty Dancing, the musical at Potsdamer Platz.  The story was the same from the movie, just everything was done in german.  My biggest compliment to the show was actually the quality of the technical aspects of the show, and the overall production was spectacular.  On stage, they made use of 4 giant LCD displays as part of a background of a scene.  With it, they were able to give the show a much more realistic feel - like when they change the perspective of the audience on a character sitting down (like they rotate the character on stage from a back view to the side), the display changes accordingly, and you really get the illusion of a camera motion like in a movie.  Besides that the music was good, if not a little loud.  But definitely worth it!
