8/7/10 - Calligraphy.


Now rested I went for a wander around Yangshuo in the morning and it is only improved by daylight. The scenery is the type you often see in Chinese films.

After my wandering I went with a small group to try calligraphy. It is a pleasant enough pastime. Only with the complexity of kanji could you turn the aesthetics of writing into an art form. We learned to write the numbers 1 to 10, various symbols meaning health, wealth and happiness, and how to write our names.

I am MaKu.

In the evening we all went to a bar to celebrate Aurora's birthday where she made use of China's lack of a drinking age. The American 21 seems like a ridiculous time frame to me.
