Visitors

So the past couple of weeks, I've been entertaining a friend from Belgium. I have never really realized the commitment required to have a guest. Luckily my parents have been helping. I don't know what I would have done if I had to look after him myself. Talk about exhaustion.

I make him sound like he doesn't speak English but, honestly you can barely tell he's not from here. But just trying to make sure he has things to do while I'm working. Getting him out to camp in the mountains a couple of times. And basically just trying to keep him organized (I don't know how he survives the army) has proved to be quite the learning experience. I've been spending a lot more time away from the kwoon than I really like. But sacrifices have to be made sometimes, and he's been planning on coming for quite some time.

I've had a lot of fun, but my patience has also been tested a lot. It reminded me that I still have a lot to work on. My life to kung fu balance still being one of them....
