Tai Chi Racquetball in Temple of Heaven Park




It's Sunday in Beijing, and so we went to Temple of Heaven Park for a little Tai Chi Racquetball with the Beijngers. This is not an easy game. Tai Chi Racquetball takes a combination of rhythm, agility, musical sensibility, athleticism, atheism, Taoism, Buddhism, Judaism, Communism, a working knowledge of Mandarin language and a love of Mandarin oranges.

A picture is worth a thousand words and 5 pictures are worth 5,000 words or 5,000 yuan which equals about $833. (I'm learning so much here in China!) Attached are some pictures of me, displaying extraordinary skill in what started as "pick up tai chi racquetball" and ended up with the China National Ladies' Tai Chi Raquetball Team trying to recruit me.

What a rush!
