The Beijing Wushu Team are getting ready for a small performance, so we all stayed to watch. I wasn’t sure if taking photo’s was allowed, but then I noticed Patti was recording it. The only problem with this demo is that our classes have been moved from 9am ( which I originally thought was unbearable ) to 8am ( which literally is hell ). So it’s an early bedtime for all of us.

It has been a very nice weekend to recover, plus the Beijing Team is back from their competition so Wu Di has been attached to Mark’s hip. Its pretty funny to watch those two. So besides lots of resting up, we’ve gone to a few nice places to eat, went to a VERY large electronic’s “store”
The Fry's of Beijing
Which resembles a large computer show in the US, except all day every day and the store is 5 stories high. After that we went weapon shopping:
Wu Di was translating and giving recommendations
back to eating
The Chinese food here is of course very good, and they have a lot of lamb, so far the best is kabob style with I think a curry spice. Very good.
We also had He Jingde visit us, he retired from the Beijing Team around 2000, now he’s in Las Vegas performing in “Ka”.
