Saw Fearless, and it is very
moving, and motivating if you appreciate aspects of Chinese history and culture. It's a little nouveau culture, but cuts across some basic Chinese tenets. Cinematography is gorgeous.
The fight scenes include alot of wires, of which I'm not a big fan, but otherwise it is well worth the trip.

Do you have a China connection? I kind of gathered from some of your previous posts that you do.

Business, friends and an introduction to language and culture. I started Chinese martial arts to understand its philosophies, and appreciate the self-improvement component thereof.
I love the Chinese peoples attachment to commerce. I could go on and on. It is a wonderful country.

Hmm, maybe our paths have crossed before.
I grew up in Southeast Asia. Lived in Shanghai for 2 years, Thailand for 4, and Taiwan for 6. Were you ever over there long-term? |

Long periods no, just Kunming and Hong Kong, or Shenzhen.
YOu'd be much more proficient with the language than I. I still love the area, its traditions and opportunities.

Didnt really hear much of it other than the firm that I work for sent out an email saying no travelling to Thailand for the time being. Then a week later, they lift the ban. I dont have nearly as strong a connection with Thailand as I do with Taiwan/China...mostly Taiwan tho.
