China Diary, Day 09

DAY 09 THE GHOST TOWN

I saw a city without soul. I saw broken walls, poverty, and prostitution behind fake doors. 

I saw myself leaving for a better place. 

China Diary, Day 08

DAY 08 LAST ONE

Boxe and kung fu kids. Kung Fu is everywhere in the culture, people are survivors.

 Old spirits are so closed, hidden behind new buildings. For a couple of hours, we’re not tourists anymore, free.

Jinan, I’ll keep a part of you with me. 

China Diary, Day 07

DAY 07 GATHERING DAY

  

300 people together.  A vortex of energy. Amazing feeling to be a part of something good in this world.

Practise and celebrations, until the night.

China Diary, Day 05

DAY 05 ONE THOUSAND BUDDHAS

 

Training inside, room full of miasmas. Under the hill, no view; only this deep fog all around me.

I put a prayer on a tree, and I ran until the golden Buddha.

I found this calligraphy for you, in this part of the city where the time is suspended.  

Last training day tomorrow. 

China Diary, Day 03

DAY 03 TRAINING

  

 

The air is heavy; the pollution is sticked on my skin. 

First circle, we’re surrounded by an army of students singing and running.

 

 

Chinese smiles everywhere. Another world. Half alien, half rock star.
