Exhausting day

Today was an exhausting day. After yesterday I was very tired and in the morning I had chinese dancing than kung-fu and after that also yoga class. Yoga classes attend some of the teachers and they invited me to. Gillian was so nice to make me homemade rice ball, which I ate before yoga. The teacher was really great, she can make such moves I won’t be ever able to do And she tried to put me in some of those It took 1 and a half hour and after the first hour I really wanted it to end But after I really felt streched (maybe to more then only 3 dimensions :))

After school I watched one of the clubs – those who do some choreographies with wooden guns! I am not sure how to call them, maybe an honor guard? There are some photos:

I am still not sure how to feel about this – children “playing” with guns and doing a little military training… But I was told that many people complained baout the whole military office, which is at every school, and they will cancel these offices. Maybe one of the reasons is also that the military officers receive two payments – one form shcool and one from army. Than such a person can get around 100 000 NTD.

I also tried some moves that they do, f.e. turning the gun around with only one hand, and I really couldn’t do it well and my hand was all sore after a few tries! They were very nice and invited me to come again. Maybe after before I leave I’ll go there and see if they made any progress in their choreography…

Yeah and the teachers were so happy to see me tired today they said that it is not possible to be so active as I am all days! They make sometimes fun of me, but it’s nice
