It was my first time, and I had a blast! Thanks to Sifu Rogers and his wonderful family, who's friends had a place on lantau Island. I did not go to mainland as it was during the Olympics and it was on such short notice that it would have been very expensive. It was pretty hot, but not too bad. Luckily, there was a typhoon to cool us off. Nice to sit in the lobby and watch trees go by.
Every morning Sifu Rogers and I would go running on the beach, then go for wonton mein and jook and nai cha, then get on the bus and shoot over to Hong Kong. The subways are so great compared to NYC. Clean, safe, and easy to navigate.
We got to hang out with Chow Wing-Dak, and Lum-Jo, two Hung-Ga greats. Got to train on the rooftops, and exchange techniques, even did some light sparring.
Sifu Rogers' Sifu, Deng Jan Gong came over to stay with us from Guangzhao, so we got to do Gung-Fu every night. Just the four of us-Sifu Rogers, Deng-Sifu,Me, an Jack...Daniels. They were very late nights.
Deng Sifu is one of the last of the old-school Sifus, and his knowledge of real Gung-Fu is endless.
I can't wait to go again.
If it weren't for my teachers, Hing-Dai, and my students, I would pick up and move there in a heartbeat.
"My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"
"I will not be part of the generation
that killed Kung-Fu."
....step.

I enjoyed seeing your emphasis on some parts of that set.
