The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

So Let The Sun Shine In :-)

Just a report to say that the weather this week has been absolutely beautiful. It went from stinking hot to very cold within a few days and now (Hopefully for this week at least) it has settled on "Perfect". It has been good timing for me because this week I have been feeling the homesickness a tad and it's almost like the weather is saying "hey c'mon, how can you feel anything other than happy when you have such beautiful sunshine" Today after I had finished my classes I took this bit of footage...please excuse the squinting but it was sunny and I didn't think to take the sunnies of my head and put them on my eyes:-)

As I walked past one of the locals she offered me an orange...I was also asked to sit out the front of a cabin and chat with another local resident (but I find this difficult when my Putonghua is limited)and was also stopped a couple of times by other residents of this laneway, who were mostly all out attending to their vegetable gardens, they wanted to find out if I could speak with them...They had a good laugh at my limited vocabulary anyway. Here's some more pictures from my walk.

Hi Sue,

That is a great view. I remember the similar view to this one is on the a Xiamen island, where there are many historical buildings, and there was a modern view of Xiamen city on the other side.

Cheers,
Katat

Yes...it's very beautiful, it's even more impressive when you're standing there...The video and pictures never capture things quite so well as the real thing !
