Just a few WAY cool facts about the Beijing National Library before the goings-on of Raging Red today :]
--It is the largest Library in Asia, and one of the largest on the entire world!
--In 2007 is had over 26.3 MILLION volumes on its shelves!
--Among these volumes, there are 35,000 from the Shang Dynasty. Now, the coolest thing about this is, the Shang Dynasty was so long ago, that the volumes are written on Oracle Bones and Tortoise Shells!! How freakin cool! I REALLY hope I get to see those.
--Volumes carried at the Library contain 115 different languages!
SO cool!
Moving on to Raging Red's Tuesday after the Holiday weekend:
Awesome attendance! Though a lot of people were bleary-eyed and had to use a little extra concealer, everyone was excited to be back and the energy in the room was great :D There was a little bit of nervousness, since Merrilee told us we'd be running the entire show that we'll be performing on our tours at the end of this week! There were some "ooooooOOoooOoo yay!" moments and some "EEK!" moments, but overall it went really well! Hoping to post a video soon!
Also, today Raging Red proposed a Bill to the college, in hopes up raising some funds to go toward out amazing oversea trip! They are reviewing our proposal and will give us an answer next week. Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!
