Any Other Business?


Dear All,


Sunset and sunrise, its party in the park time below our apartment.


“Wave your hands in the air, like you just don’t care” kicks off around 17:55 and is a freestyle, optional, drop in dance session for mad-ravers of all ages. In the shadow of the King’s Palace several competing/complimenting maestros of the dance hold court, each with their own set of followers. I sometimes waddle along, it’s far more accessible then Falun Gong.


Sunrise, “Matadors of the Morning” push both their and my envelopes even further. Every magical day around 05:43 a troop of six or seven white clad, red sash wearing and sword wielding men and women take to the stage for a more cultured aerobic display. Their boom box is big and their beats a mixture of counting (English unfortunately), traditional songs and the echoed bellowing of their dear leader. With the fog of morning and my head sandwiched between two foamy pillows I often wake prematurely, nervously wondering if perhaps my government really has abandoned me...


Leave it on the dance floor,

Mw
