After CNY recovery

It's been a while since I've been productive - apart from eating a lot, sleeping a lot, and watching DVDs. I have the same excuse that the rest of China has - it was Chinese New Year.

I've been traveling a lot. One of the trips was to the Shaolin Temple to meet with the abbot about some business in the US. While there I had some Shaolin medicine practiced on me, and our group all got a private lesson in baduanjin (八段锦) which I now do to warm up in the mornings.

Here's the 8 stretches edited on Youtube. We're standing in front of the temple where the monks like to work out. If you ever go there, next door has a great little cafe that serves up the best cappuccino and latte in town. I'm not kidding. They have 3 serious espresso machines in there.

Here's me with the head abbot, Shi Yongxin, chatting about chicks and cars.

Bodhidharma's Cave on Mount Song. This is where Zen Buddhism began.
