Kung Fu Training At Wu Wei Si Monastery

Bonjour
Hey! I can't believe that you and Billy actually did it, you actually left on a backpacking tour across Europe. I am stunned, you guys said this for like 10 years, but you actually did it. Anyways...Hello from Laval, and Have a great trip! Say hi to Billy! SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Bonjour x 2
I realized it lake two nights ago, I was like "wait..did I say Europe". I know how to read, it's just that I can't spell Asia. It sounds like a pretty awsome trip, I wonder if you will come back a buddhist (again spelling sucks). Life has been going great thanks, work alot, etc. Enjoy the rest of your time their and have a safe flight back. Go Habs Go! <----Never thought you'd hear me say that too. Life is full of suprises............but the Bruins are better. The END.

Do you have to make a reservation to get in or you just walk in??

questions
ive heard a litle about this monastery but only through travellers blog posts, is this a place one could go to live train and study with the monks for extended periods of time, like 1-3 years, how inviting would they be of something like thaty??

is it safe
Hey do you think a 16 years old can do it? And is it safe to go there?

Females??
Hi there, lovely reading about your experiences- just wondering if women are allowed to train here and live here or is it forbidden??

Training
Read your article and was curious to know what style of kung fu do they teach. Thank you.

Women and men intimacy ?
Quick question. What's the definition of intimacy in this context. Like, does it count as intimate if it's a man and a woman talking alone in an open area? (I'm just not sure about the culture there and how they define intimacy)

interested in kung fu
i would like to know more about learnng kung fu in monastries secretly like this in china. it would be much appriciated if you could give me more information about it... thank you.

Wu Wei Si
Hello, soon i will be making my way to China to study Tai Chi. Most likely Wu Wei Si temple, Dali. Hopefully for 6-12 months. I have a few questions for which answers i couldn't find on the web. 1. VISA.   I've heard it is relatively easy to get 1 month tourist visa, and then maybe extend it for up to a year.   Will Wu Wei Si provide me with the letter of acceptance once i'm there ? And will i be able to extend it in Dali ? And is it expensive?   Better yet, how could i get a letter of acceptance as both the invitation letter and proof of accomodation before i apply for the Chinese visa, but without going through an agent ?   Like maybe from some other temple or school ?    I'm on supertight budget, agents are usually expensive. But it would be nice, if i could get a 1 year visa, or at least 3-6 months before i go there. As far as i know its the same price, no matter how long the visa, but i'm not sure how easy that would be.   Any tips on that, please ? 2. SHOES.   Can't i buy them over there, like in the temple or in Dali ? How do the monks get theirs ? 3. SOCKS.   Since i'm In Chiang Mai Thailand, and thick cotton socks ( like the sports type ) are nowhere to be found, i could only find very thin cotton or synthetic ones. Will i easily find them in Dali ? How do the monks get theirs ? 4. COFFEE.   It will be hard to start the day so early without one. I have a little electric water boiler, will i be able to use that by the charging station ? If not, could i use a camping stove ? 5. RATES.   Do they have some long term stay special rate scheme ? 6. INTERNET.   Is it possible/easy to get a chinese sim card with a data package to have some internet access without going to Dali ? (doesn't need to be fast/reliable). 7. MONEY.   I'm guessing Atm's in Dali would provide, right ? ( I was in Iran a few years back, and only Iranian bank cards worked, easy to get stuck.. )   Thanx a buch for any info. entity•°⊙ [ you can call me dex, if you need to call me something.. ]

Starting day/sleeping bag
Hi, thanks a lot for your article. I'm planning to go to Wu Wei Si very soon, for a week. Can we start living there and training there in any day? I might arrive on Monday. What time is best to arrive? Also do we need to bring our own sleeping bag? Thanks a lot for the help.
