Dawning, judging from your photos, you must have been sitting right behind me!
Next year, assuming there will be some shows in Germany next year, I intend to go to all of them! One was simply not enough! Anna |

Dawning sent me more of her photos from Dusseldorf, but my stupid e-mail program put them in my spam folder - luckily, it does this often enough that I check
it once a day, LOL...
More to enjoy! http://skatesand.freewebspace.com/IMG_4702.JPG http://skatesand.freewebspace.com/IMG_4703.JPG http://skatesand.freewebspace.com/IMG_4704.JPG http://skatesand.freewebspace.com/IMG_4706.JPG http://skatesand.freewebspace.com/IMG_4707.JPG Laurie |

I couldn't believe it when I saw, a few months ago, that "ice level" seats were available! Usually we don't have seats so close to the ice,
in Europe. So, obviously, I couldn't miss this opportunity! Unfortunately I didn't know which would be the "judges side", but even the
"wrong" side had a very big advantage: Alexei stood literally less than tree meters away from me before the start of his second program with
Lanskaya!

First of all, I would love to thank my friend Petra who helped us to arrange a perfect tour, so we got the best seats, and the whole traveling was very smooth, comfortable and convenience! Without her help, I can't make it. Thanks for billons! I decided to go to Germany very late, and I was very surprised when I knew that I could still get the first row tickets. I feel happy for my seats, but keep worrying if the shows will keep or not. This is my first time in Germany, it's "only" 15 hours from Taiwan to there, so I feel a little comfortable this time, unlike last time to Krasnodar that I had to spend 37 hours for one way, and was complete exhausted. Of course no matter how exhausted I was, once I see Alexei, my spirit would go high to the heaven, LOL.
Mannheim I feel that I see a star shining into my eyes and my heart when he appear in the opening number, wearing that beautiful silver costume with huge smile in his face, and this bring us to the heaven immediately! He looks always enjoy skating on the tour with friends, and with huge enthusiasm audience, he is always with huge smile or laughing, it's so great to see him happy. I didn't get a good seat in Moscow, so I feel it's my first time to really see him skate with Lanskaya, I am glad that I could see his another side live and so closely. When he and Lanskaya skate the guitar number, she slip down and Alexei try to not to falling down on her, they back to skate immediately, and audience gave them huge applause. But when he didn't skate Bumbarash in the end of the first half like he usually did, we start to worry if they got hurt by the fall. We feel a little release when they came out to perform Je Taime number., but still keep worry about them. We feel release and happy when we see him coming our ready for Bumbarash. We were in the end side, when he perform Bumbarash, his jumps were mostly done on our corner! One of the jump even just in front of us! I feel amazing! His jumps is still so beautiful and security. He landed with light and grace and easy, if I say he landed like a butterfly, it might be a slightly exaggerated, but he certainly landed like a bird, just beautiful!
Hamburg We sit in the judge side, most of the performance face us. He and Lanskaya skate better then in Mannheim. Lanskaya sing without microphone when perform Je Taime, her voice is powerful to full the rink, people are impressed, Alexei is excellent when he skate Bumbarash, he is amazing! He has all the audience in his feet, people is so crazy on him, so he has to come out for the second encore. I feel pride for him, and feel so happy for him. Honestly, I didn't very fond of Bumbarash in the beginning, but I love it more and more, because he is completely "ON" in this number. His pure joy in the beginning and sadness tragedy in the end, you can't image there's any other people could do the same as him, that only in a short time, skate a program with excellent jumps and move, explore his emotion to full the house, and also tell a story line! From Broken Arrow (my LOVE!), Gladiator, MITIM, and now, Bumbarash! He is the greatest gift that God gives to us! He looks so happy in the final, keep cute smile on his face all the time, and waving to people.
Dusseldorf He and Lanskaya still skate great. This time, we were in the opposite of the judge side, so there's a lots of back view. But they start guitar number and Je Taime in front of our section. Specially in Je Taime, he is almost stand right in front of us! You know, in this number, he almost stand there for half of the program to perform, only this moment would worth of my whole trip, LOL. He is so close! Even his back look gorgeous too! I feel amazing that even we can't see his face, but I feel his emotion is full the place, by just standing there and move his arms. He was born to be the star! There's also a moment when he turn back and face us, raise his head ready to skate, WOW! Then there's also in the end of the program he came back and stand in front of us again! What a heaven! When he skated solo, he was so fast! So, this is a very special feeling to see him stand in front of us for such a long time during the performance. I can't decide which way I love to see more, LOL. He is also excellent in Bumbarash! He was tired but he is very happy and satisfied, and we got to see the two fists in the end! So we are happy for him too! As usually, they make a longer version of the final number! They skate around the rink to give people high five, they took the group photo as usual, LOL. Alexei looks very happy in the final, I am wonder if the "bow" is his favorite element in skating, then "Final" most be his all time favorite number, LOL. I see him is very popular by all the ladies and of course also beloved by the guys too. I feel they are like a huge family traveling and working together, it's very sweet to see all the little kids sitting here and there, and in guys shoulders, I am glad to see him skate and also see him skate with happiness!
While the show was holded on Germany, but it's Russian ice skating tour, there's Russian skaters of course, Russian show program, Russian skating magazines, Russian staffs, Russian language, Russian music, I do feel that I am in the Russian, LOL. I bought a magazine with Alexei on the over in Mannheim, I am planning to buy that magazine in all three shows, and will make it a sold out in the last stop, but the magazine was sold out within the first show in Mannheim! I think they underrate our desire to that Alexei's cover magazine, and didn't bring enough to there. The arena in Germany are all very huge, although it's not full, but the ticket selling Is not bad, they've been in Germany for the third year, and I wish they will come there again. I also try to bring some soft toy for Alexei and Lanskays, and throw it on ice after their performance, I never did that before, and I have great fun to do that. All in all, this is such a wonderful trip, I am very happy that I could make it. And thanks Alexei for bringing us huge joy with his great skating, I hope he will have a well rest in summer very soon.
