The shaolin is actually a university, many study marital arts but some don't. They have about 22000 students, this is one dormitory we peeked into.
Now doing kungfu they may sweat so one would think that with that many sneaked the stank would be overwhelming but I could not detect any. I asked if it was cold in winter but it isn't because so many in one room.
Turns into big spectacle many wants to see the laowei and take picture. The cost was 10rmb, my friend was translating. Since we sit down we had, in the end, to pay for two. Lol. Anyway, don't remember much then generic good fortune guesses. Live long and Prosper!
Must be a new word!
In any case we got a lot of it the first days. So much electricity and water went out...
Has awesome (foot) massage in my friend's father's business. The massage girl walked all over my back. Haha. Is that why it's called foot massage?
I go visit a friend in Henan. I take the night sleeper train 1800km or so in 22 hours. Soft sleep bed is 530 rmb, hard sleeper 200, hard seat 1xx. Long distance slow travel can be very affordable. Flying would have been 1400 and I still would need to take train.
In shenzhen subway I meet two subway station attendants they are from Henan, see picture.
On the train I eat in the restaurant. The chef borrows my buddha beads and unbuttons his shirt. See picture. He alludes to the pictures and statues of the jolly happy Monk, and then he rubs his own belly for luck. I get my beads back and he makes me some tequanyin tea.
Later the conductor gives me some of his stash too.
Travels: it's the trip, not only the destination that is experience.
14 more hours. I sleept some but went up for toilet. With the lot of tea I drank probably need go few more times. Lol
