In the morning, we had a Tai chi class, taught by a tai chi Master. Tai chi is a
traditional Chinese Kong Fu art form. The movements are slow, and they seemed
simple--until we tried doing them!
In the afternoon, we had a more formal calligraphy lesson with an expert artist. It was
so complicated! There are many different forms and styles of writing, and the same words
can look very different. We also learned that holding the brush and making the strokes
correctly is very important, and very challenging.
In the evening, we attended "English Corner", a club that meets on a "corner" of the TNU
campus to practice their English speaking skills. We were a smashing hit! Everyone was
eager to talk with native English speakers, and our students really got a chance to teach
and communicate. We made many friends, and they begged us to come back next week!
