You Want An Audience Start A Fight

We arrived by train on Tuesday afternoon, then left by train on Wednesday night.
This is what happened in between.

Met these two happy souls
while leaving Xian.

On the train from Xian
With pot noodle & herb tea flask, I fitted in nicely.

We needed western food in Luoyang
bit sick of noodles. 24 hour McDonalds delivery...this is not good!

Wednesday arrived.
A full day ahead...two places of interest to visit The Shaolin temple and monks & Longman caves.

Whats all this?
Early morning march to practise sites.

Arrival of the shaolin boys.
& little princess who wishes one day to find a Shaolin monk of her own.

Really young...proving that.....
"Rotten wood cannot be carved"

"Raise your sail one foot
and you get ten feet of wind."

Another feild full of young monks
The security guards in Beijing came to mind.

"Patience is power.....
with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk."

Hold up.....is that my Stu?
Dont get the 'professional'photo done here, they blur the faces, then fight you they are right... I took this.

A show of courage.
or stupidity.
