I haven't been to a circus in over half a decade, so I wanted to remember what a circus was like.
 
First thing I noticed when I got to the parking lot, where Mexicans. Don't fret, I'm hispanic, so it's ok. When I got inside, all of the circus people were hispanic in some way, with the exception of the ringmaster and a lady with dogs. I went to one of the guys selling a small bag of popcorn, and asked how much it costs, and he said 5 dollars. For a bag of popcorn half the size of a $1 bag you get at a flea market.
 
I bought it.
 
As I left, the vendor started cussing out in Spanish: "[bleep] [bleep] asking how much a popcorn costs, it's [bleep} 5 dollars. {BLEEP}" I looked back at him with an angry face. I know Spanish, you know. 
 
I was not having fun in the circus. The pony rides where 15 bucks to ride the pony. I am not paying 15 bucks to ride that pony. 
 
But once the show started, all my angers faded away, as the rude circus people made an amazing show! 
 

 
 
 
 I was very satisfied, and had tons of fun! There was a great cast, funny (although sloppily timed) clowns, huge elephants, and a midget! And I forgive the rude Mexican.
