The trip was definitely perspective-altering. I stayed for two days in Beijing and spent about two weeks in Dengfeng, a city in the central province of Henan, where I studied kong fu and Chinese at a kong fu school. I fell in love, and I miss China so much. I'll just put a few pictures up, and only the links so as not to stretch the page too much.

Wooooow, what a beautiful place! Their architecture is so colourful and intricate and gorgeous, it really puts our concrete masses to shame.

Was the trip just a holiday, or did you go especially for the kung fu?

STOP. ARE YOU READING THE ABOVE POST?
If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.
