Rudolf the red nosed tai chi studebt

Doesn't quite have the right ring to it. I have to go and buy bore dishoos! Ah well, never mind.

Right, started today with brilliant tai chi lesson - 10 steps

1) collect energ
2) make tai chi ball (yin)
3) protec lef sigh
4) make tai chi ball (yang)
5) protec rye sigh
6) two han pull dow
7) han together push up
8) push away social movemen
9) han fla turn away
10) collect energ

We know what it means!

Then it was break time so we went and checked out, then Chinese calligraphy lesson. Left handed calligraphy is not easy (but then neither is right handed) although forming the characters left to right meant Martyn had to draw them all backwards or risk very inky hands! Just like handwriting practice in school and we were both still quite rubbish - it's good to feel we have progressed so far with our education!

Wandered around town for a bit, wrote last lot of postcards - 10 - got arm ache, navigated post office having tried to buy stamps in one bank and one mobile phone shop. Changed the Hong Kong dollars Martyn found in his wallet last night - doh.

Late lunch / dinner. Now awaiting bus for flight to Chengdu.

Hoping our posts are reaching the blog, as we dont seem to be able to check it!
