We've been staying at an art and culture school, where we have been taking classes in painting, massage, and taiji. On Sunday our Taiji Master invited us to the park to participate in an exhibition of the basic form, which we had just learned, in front of many Chinese practitioners who laughed at us, but clapped at the end. There were performances in other forms including taiji with sword, which we learned in our last few days.
