Beijing and Jackie Chan

Got some exciting news today. Ten people from the traditional class are going to be in a TV performance with Jackie Chan. So this Friday we will be headed on the train to Beijing. I'm really excited. Not only do I really need a little bit of a rest, our accommodation and travel are all paid. We were also promised a 500kuai bonus for spending money. Sounds a little too good to be true so I'm not gonna keep my hopes up but it's a nice thought. It's about 100 Canadian dollars which can get you quite a lot in China. The chance to eat some western food is definitely an incentive in itself. It will be cool to travel with a group of my team members as well. Hopefully we'll get a little bit of face time with Jackie Chan, but seeing as he is China's biggest celebrity I'm gonna try to not get my hopes up for that as well. Many of the Chinese students at the school are definitely jealous so we promised to try and get a few autographs.

On another note. I've been getting acupuncture for my knee and I seem to be having really good results. We'll see how this performance goes and after that hopefully I will be as good as new. I was hoping to do some editing to my blog but since China's firewall is so strong, I've been mostly unsuccessful. Oh the joys of censorship. Ha!
