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

Evenings outside my apartment

I guess that on this blog you see alot of MY experiences here in China but I don't take much footage or photos of everyday life around me. The main reason for this is I don't want to intrude or seem overly interested in the way the Chinese live and the things they do that fill their days BUT for the last few weeks I've been watching the ladies from around here where I live, partaking in one of the most favourite pastimes here in Yichang...Dancing...You can see people dancing of an evening all around this city...In Yiling Square there are hundreds of people dancing every night.
Last night Nettie gave me a lift home and whilst I wasn't game enough to video the ladies (most of whom I say hello to everyday, some of them also teachers) Nettie said she would take a video...they wouldn't mind. SO here is life downstairs outside my apartment of an evening. The small shop is where I buy a lot of bits and pieces shopping...It is right next door. A light comes on part way through the video so it gets much brighter :-) I actually did a little dancing too but only for a couple of minutes AND NOT ON VIDEO :-)
