Next week is the "4th International Wushu Competition"....thing....in Shiyan (the nearest big city) so we've been very busy. Once again we're doing some opening ceremony performance with Jackie Chan and some other performance on the mountain. We still haven't even seen Jackie Chan but it seems like anywhere he goes the government just scrambles to find any foreigners they can and throw them on stage with him. Any way they can think of to exploit both him and us.

Well we've been very busy practicing for 2 separate performances but at least we get to do real forms so it's not a complete waste of our time. Soon it'll be over and everything will be back to normal, hopefully we can avoid any more of this stuff until after the break. I thought training internal kung fu in a mountain town would be peaceful! haha

I'm really starting to itch for the break, not because I need to rest from training, because I'm getting kind of sick of living in China and I really miss Canada. I'll write more about why Canada is a better place to live in my next post.
