We got back from our short class trip to Xi'an on Tuesday evening. It was a really fun and relaxing time. I barely thought about kung fu at all, never mind talk about it, which I think is a really great way to re-charge. They say a change is as good as a rest, and I had both. I got a fancy new paintbrush and it was so much fun to test it out yesterday, I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it in the shop.

If you're ever in China, check out Xi'an, it's the coolest city I've been to here...so much history.

Oh, and while we were there, guess who else was there to see the terracotta warriors? Michelle Obama! They shut down the entire exhibit just for her. I didn't see her or anything, it was just a weird coincidence that we happened to be staying in Xi'an at the same time.

So back to training tomorrow and I am renewed and filled with vigor!
