As one of the behind scenes organisers I had been dreading rain but in an odd way, as you say, once you accepted the soaking there was a special quality about the experience. I was very interested to hear Kimho say that all his Chinese and Thai performers agreed that if the event had taken place in Taipei or Hong Kong as soon as it started to rain both audience and performers would have given up and gone home. They couldn't believe that so many people came and stayed right to the end. Next day performers were still smiling. And sneezing! Thank you Rob, this beautifully captures the essence of the night.
