Still Kicking
Location: Dali, Yunnan Province, China
Local Time: Thursday, September 9, 2006 - 8:56am
Well, Val started her retreat at Kopan Monastery yesterday. She'll be completely out of touch (even more so than usual for someone in Nepal) for the next month.
I'm still here, studying martial arts with Xiao Yun. Aiden, my British companion, has moved on. He's going to Laos for some hiking, and to escape the increasingly colder weather I think.
Sofie, an American student on exchange for a semester in China, is now studying tai chi with Xiao Yun, she's my new fellow student. Well, not too new, she's been here for nearly 2 weeks now.
Not much to report. Every morning I wake up, walk a half hour down the hill, then a 45 minutes back up. 1.5 - 2 hours of practice, so time for a few hundred kicks and about 10 forms or so. Lunch, a bit of a nap, then another 1.5 - 2 hours of practice (a few hundred more kicks, etc.) Then dinner, reading, bed time.
