Taekwando

After a break of two weeks due to sickness and travel, kristine resumed her taekwando this morning. Her body is not pliable compared to her classmates there. More practices needed. However she could kick high with her right leg.

Halfway through her class, I saw 8 parents surrouding a lady who seemed like the 'manager' of the class. Voices were raised, quite a scene. I thought the parents were unhappy with the young lady coach who beat a few of kristine's classmates with a belt (gently, I must add). I later ask one parent what the hoohah was all about. They were lodging a complaint with the manager that they were promised an extra coach now that the student size has exceeded 20. Good point.

If that was a complaint, I cant imagine how a real fight will sound like.

On that subject, I forgot to attach a photo I took at a watering hole halfway between Dunhuang and Jiayuguan where our express coach made a convenience stop. While Grace stayed on the bus with Kimberley asleep on her laps, I took Kristine to a public toilet. Always a scary experience but her nose is now well adjusted. While waiting for Kristine I took a photo of a scuffle at the bus terminus. Two guys appeared to be fighting over something. Sorry I couldnt understand what they were shouting about. They were pulling on each others' shirts, with many other hands trying to pull these two guys apart, and even more hands folded as sightseers. No punches were thrown. They were angrily pulling each others shirts from front of bus to end of bus.
