Ok this thread is inspired by Satori's thread from yesterday. So the upshot is that if you post to this thread you have to tell an interesting story about yourself NOT involving alcohol. I have way to many of those. Lets hear about something you did that was neat or inspiring, or something you did on a vacation that was fun.
Here is mine.
In 1999 I went to China with a tour group. I saw many parts of China. One of the most facinating things about China were the people. I absolutely adored them. When we were in Quilin we were facinated by this tiny old lady doing martial arts in the park with a sword. She must have been a billion years old. She was clearly a master at it too.
Another really fun thing was one moring in one of the parks we heard music near one of the temples (it was big band music) so I went over and saw all these elderly folks dancing and having a great time. I politely cut in and danced with a sweet older lady and we had a ball. Others then joined in from my tour group and I felt that not only us Americans enjoyed the experience but our kindly Chinese Friends did too.
In China on the tours they make you stop at all kinds of weird places whether you want to or not so one of the places was a traditional Chinese Medical Hospital. Well we got a tour of the place and the last place they took us was a class that was training to do foot stuff (sorry cant recall what the name of it is). So for 15 bucks they would work on your feet for an hour. I said what the heck. That was the best money I have ever spent. The two little gals working on my feet were giggling the whole time cause here I am a giant of a man squirming in my seat with the shear utter pain they are causing me! When they were finally done my feet felt the best they have felt ever!
Well there are so many more but I think I'll end it here.
I hope by writing about something positive this will be somewhat theraputic for all of us and remind us that we are all a heck of a lot more than just booze hounds. We are real people that do matter and are important. I really look forward to reading what others have to write about thier adventures!
