Don't Rain on my Parade

Another adventure I took part in during my four day weekend, was exploring the Yuz Museum.  They currently are featuring an incredible exhibit titled "The Rain Room" until December and after hearing about it, a colleague and I decided we had to check it out (mind you, we decided to go on the opening weekend).  It wasn't our smartest move to go on opening weekend as we found out AFTER purchasing our tickets that we would have to wait an hour and a half just to be in the waiting room for the rain room.  However, there were other small art exhibits and rooms that we were able to explore in the meantime.  We had lots of time to kill, so after exploring we sat in the lobby where they conveniently had an overpriced cafe with lots of drinks and food options.  In this cafe, I found my one true love..... WATERMELON JUICE!!!! It's only the tastiest, most refreshing drink I have ever tried. Why do we not have this in the states??? Not only did it delightfully cleanse my palette, but also took a chunk of change out of my wallet..... I have to say it was 100% worth it!! Finally, we were able to enter "The Rain Room" after a long wait.  This exhibit has traveled all over the world, because it is pure genius. The room is essentially filled with rain falling from the ceiling, but the miraculous part is that wherever you walk in the room sensors will detect you and keep you from getting wet.  I must say it took a little trust and observation of others before I fully stepped into the room, but after placing my hand in without getting wet, I was fully committed.  The experience was absolutely mind blowing, and the only way to truly understand is to experience it for yourself.  The still pictures I captured simply don't do the work justice, but rather give you a small glimpse of what it was like...
