This is 释恒彦 (Shì Héng Yàn) or Justin, he was one of the monks from Shaolin that was here last month teaching at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. He went to Shaolin at the age of nine. He’s twenty years old now. Maybe I’ll make a vist to Henan this summer. I could look him up or one of the other monks I met. That would be cool…

姜建国 trying to offer me and Albert some really strong wine. One of my first friends I met in China on my own. Many people say Chinese people are so rude. Some maybe, but you can’t generalize a whole country’s population. You got to get to know a few. Here some photos from that night.
