Calligraphy, Martial Arts, and Karaoke
Tai Chi Sword uniquely Chinese form of Martial Arts. Chinese Calligraphy is similarly a cultural phenomenon. Our students learned both yesterday and ended the day with some Karaoke, one of China’s favorite pastimes! (Forgive me for not taking pictures of this. The girls were rocking out which was too cool to be distracted from!)
Today, we'll be going to the morning market before class. Then tomorrow it's a day of Travel as we head to the Great Wall of China. For the first time the students will go beyond the rings of Beijing!
