After Taiji Legacy, there was a "friendship banquet" for the international competitors. You know, it's weird, at the kung fu school, they always told us how the World ChinWoo competitions always brought together people from the various ChinWoo schools, and people made friends and stuff- but I wasn't really feeling that vibe. I just didn't feel like there was a whole lot of bonding going on. =/ Not a very memorable experience in general.

There was some gift exchanging among the schools, and then there was a very disturbing bit of "entertainment." During the dinner, I had to chaffeur one of the Australian competitors back to their hotel, and I got some nifty keychains out of it. Afterwards, I started talking with this guy from Venezuela, and for part of it, I had to speak in Spanish... I was rather amazed that I could still pull it off. Then we went and visited a site in Carrollton where our new school is gonna be. Then I came home and got to bed around 3:00.
