Last week my colleague came up to me and asked if I was free that evening, she was inviting me to this horse show called Cavalia. I have seen ads about this show in the newspaper, but I have never really thought of going. Finally, I said yes, I can come with her and use her extra ticket. Her extra ticket was due to her husband not being able to come, while I do need some time off from both home and work, so off we went!

What's interesting with Cavalia is that you will not just see people perform, the horses are the absolute star of the night. They claimed that they Cavalia have 40 horses in total. Oh you just won't believe what you'll see, they are well trained, smart, funny and cute, all at the same time! The dancers were very energetic and very passionate, seeing those acrobats are just unbelievable! And the music being sang by the band at the back of the stage is so superb. There's nothing like it! They also used technology to create a horse illusion in some parts of the show. There's also the combination of colored light and water poured from the top was amazing!

We were forbidden to take photos so unfortunately, I cannot show the performance to you guys, however they have this Youtube video that brings justice. Here's the link: Cavalia Youtube. They will be in Hong Kong until May 10, and ticket price starts from HK$395 - HK$1,895 (VIP) seats. I think the seats we got are not so bad - the yellow seats. Seat map here! Sorry, my photos are really bad, time to buy a new camera! :(

The show's duration is 2 hrs. with a 30 minute intermission. Watch this in the evening so you will feel comfortable, I heard it can be hot during the day in the tents. 

I am giving this show a 4.5 stars!  I recommend this to everyone especially for families, I'm sure whether you're a kid or a kid at heart, you will love this. 

It's definitely worth the time, c'mon give these horses a chance! You won't be sorry. :)

Sometimes I do get dull days especially when I can't think of anything new to do here in Hong Kong. I am a type of person that easily get bored if things become very repetitive. The usual step I would do is to google (yes, this is now a verb), "Hong-Kong-weekend-what-to-do", and the list will drag me from the amusements parks to the museums. Later on I figured that maybe I can make up a list of nice things to do on a weekend (or even on a weekday during your lunch break), a list of places to go to whenever I wanted to feel cheer up. This do not requires so much time, it actually depends on how much time you have, you can be very flexible.

Just around our office in Lyndhurst Terrace, I recommend three places to go to that can cheer you up!
