Visiting Mr. Zhongshan

Last weekend we had kung fu lessons!! We have to have the lessons at another school further into the city, so we actually do kung fu with other ILP teachers. It was such a fun experience but it kicked our butts!! We all thought it would be fun and easy but five minutes into class we were already unable to move! Then at the end he tells us we are really bad and need to practice everyday!! Even though we were all in pain after it was so much fun we can’t wait for our next lesson!
By the school there is this huge statue of Mr Zhongshan, and we decided even in pain and sore to climb up all the stairs and take pictures!

Practicing our Kung Fu moves!!

These dragon/lion statues are Everywhere- No sure exactly what they mean, but we like them!


Us with Mr. Zhongshan! I learned his name once, but I can never remember it
The statue was really neat and fun to hike up to, but it is what met us at the top that made our day!

A ton of Chinese tourists were there taking pictures and as soon as they saw us, one girl asked to have her picture with us and then we got attacked by them all!!
For about 20 minutes they kept taking pictures with us, they particularly liked Andreas blond hair!

We were laughing during this because sometimes we forget that we stand out from everyone else! We decided to play Where’s Waldo 

It is fun how everyday is some type of adventure, just hiking up to a statue was so much fun and having our pictures taken made our day!!
