A little sum-up

Almost without noticing the 4th week of our trip is about to end. Times does pass slower around here, since everyday is so full of amazing things, places and people, but apparently it does go by.
We changed plans a little bit, but it's a good thing because we adjust ourselves to this crazy place. We gave up going to Honk-Kong because of technical difficulties regarding our visas (nothing important, just never trust ISSTA Mount-Scopus to arrange things for you...), and decided to dedicate more time to Shanghai and it's surroundings. It's been 4 days since we got to Dali, and we were supposed to go on a 2 days tai-chi course in a temple up the mountains, but when we got there today we found out that you can't stay there less than 4 days. That would have been ok but unfortunately we can't begin the course before Saturday, and that doesn't really fit our plan, so we gave it up. Never the less today's visit to the temple, seeing the amazing orphan children that live there and teach KongFu and Tai Chi, the practice itself and all of the spiritual atmosphere in the place, were worth the climb up the mountain. Nirit even took part in an English lesson the kids had, and they really loved the fact that their teacher finally knows chinese.
Anyway, we have 5 more weeks to go. tomorrow we'll extend our visas, get a full-body massage and then leave to Kunming, the Yunnan province capital city.
