One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While travelling in the legendary chinese city of the Yellow Emperor, Jinan; I remember waking up at 5am to a traditional chinese melody..was not sure where this peaceful music came from, so I decided to go out of the hotel and find out. When I went out of the hotel and followed the melody I ended up in a beautiful park behind the hotel where two groups of elder chinese, divided in men and women were practicing Tai Chi. The women used fans and the men used traditional chinese swords to practice this ancient martial art. Suddenly I felt I stepped into another dimension. I went back in time 5oo years back.

However, what most impressed me was that they didn´t even looked at me. In all other small cities I was in, I was the center of attention, this time they didn´t even acknowledge my presence, maybe they were too concentrated lol.

Very awesome moment!
