Eight days and counting to the Olympics! In the Bay Area anticipation is great.......as the Chinese Community is looking foward to the event.......Chinese TV has had programs every nite to introduce the top athletes in China...and have them talk about their training and hopes for the Games. I even made the front page of the Chronicle as they published the interview with me....Chinese Americans see Games as symbol of Homeland's progress.........you can check the article out at SfGate.com.........probably only time I will share front page with Obama and McCain!! Haha..........................got an update from HK Wushu Team Member Collin Cheng......he's training hard in Hebei.........nothing to do there except train...he can't wait to compete......jiayo Collin......too bad Wushu will not be an official event......it will be interesting to see if anyone shows up to watch......even at the last World Wushu Tournament........people only showed up on opening day...and after that there was no one in the stands......and that was in China!
Good Night, what's with that............well, how about....... Dark Knight.........If you have not gone to see Batman....you gotta check it out..........Keith Ledger was awesome.....by far the best Joker......but it's not a story for little kids to watch........it's a movie that pushes you to the edge....and asks what would you do if you had the choice to save yourself if it cost someone else's life..............fortunately the answer is the good guys don't cross over that line...but if you do, you just become a two face! Anyway great performances.............you forget completely that you are watching Ledger act......his Joker is just over the top. A shame such a great talent has passed on.
Spent the afternoon at my acupunturist..........Aaron.......now I feel really relaxed.......and ankles and back don't hurt........ thank you sir........yesterday we had to do a two Lion Performance for the Hyatt Regency.....usually no biggie........except it was for 45 minutes straight with no breaks or switching...as we did not have any young guys with us.....so the geriatric lion squad had to perform.........haha..........we were told by one Chinese lady on the sidewalk we needed to dance with more definition...........riiiiiiiight.......................after 45 minutes try and have energy still......even my buddha fan weighed a ton by the end...and boy did my feet hurt!! Let me show you some definition with a few whacks from my fan!! Hehe..........and so there are many stories in naked City!!
Kei Lun Lion Dance troupe....and lots of old guys......but well we are more experienced!
We were at the Hyatt Regency, greeting bus loads of convention goers......any breaks soon??
Ok....cya all off to watch the news!!
