Jeesus christ, I'm going to China tomorrow!

[Kristoffer]

This is the trip I've dreamed about for my entire life! Now I'm really nervous... I'll be there for two weeks and we'll be training from 07.00 - 13.00 everyday. We'll mostly train our style, 5 animals but also Pakua from a local Sifu. Oh my God!
I'm burning a cd right now just for good luck... Kung Lek... Hold me.. (Or Tae Li )

[scotty1]

Thank's everyone Scotty, It's in Beijing. We'll be training on the hotel roof and in a big room at the hotel mostly I think.

Kris Were You not Expecting this Trip until next Year?

[Kristoffer]

If anyone wants to you could all share your thought on just what the hell I'm supposed to do at the airplane... 8 friggin hours. I have alot of music, some papers and a boring book. This will shape this thread:

Martial artists trix to annoy the people on your airplane? Enjoy

Eh... luck you if it's only 8. When I went it was 15 from Los Angeles to Guangzhou. As far as annoying people on the plane, just be normal. We were considering YiJinJing & Taiji 24 step form but changed our minds. Just bring a book & get ready to nap. Depending on the airline you fly, you might get some nifty Chinese soap operas. I had Unbreakable & Pay It Forward (in English), Tom & Jerry & some Warner Brothers cartoons (In Mandarin... I don't speak Mandarin), and some Chinese soaps.

Just get ready for a long flight & make sure it sit by somebody you: a) know & b) like.

Ok sounds reasonable thx. I was thinking doing forms in the 'hallways', dress up like Bin Laden and scare the stuardess or something. Guess I'll try to sleep as much as possible.

[Kay k]

wow, really!? can i come with ya? we could talk about kempo and why no-one likes it... for 8 hours!

have fun. XX =]

They show at least 2 movies inflight. On my flight to China, the 1st movie was "...Castle??" with Robert Redford which I slept thru. The 2nd one was "Crouching Tiger", and the 3rd was "Shrek".

On the return flight, I was so tired I just slept thru the whole way.

Desum Brother! (That's descent, awesome and jesum in woodchuck speak) Hope you have a fantastic experience! I'm available if you need a Sherpa. Crossreferencing training materials and writing them down on a notepad always helps me on long trips. (Yeah, I know I'm boring.) Get a more interesting book, preferably not at the airport. Peace, be well, talk to ya when you get back.

[Leonidas]

Congrats Kris!

Have fun, train hard, see the sites(the 'Great Wall' is a must ), take lots of pictures, bring lots of toilet paper, and above all else bring me back a souvenir.

Good luck man, sounds fun as hell. Tell us about it when you get back.

[Shaolindynasty]

Uhhhh....If you dressed up like Bin Laden wouldn't that get your arse kicked?

8 hours isn't bad, it took me 13 to get from chicago to Rio De janerio. The flight there was long because i was excited and couldn't sleep but on the way home I slept the whole way, even through that god awful thing they called dinner.

(Oh and don't sit next to your sifu, I did on the way there and he spilled wine on me 2x)
