Singing in the Park

Going to park in China is not a boring experience - far from it. There is so much going on. Something I really love about the Chinese people is their ability to just live life despite circumstances. They just get on with living - something we all could learn from.

Out side my house on the concrete a couple always play badminton. Now in Australia we wouldn't do that because there is not enough space or it is not the done thing to play where people can see you, here no one seems to care.

We went to the park the other day and saw so many interesting things. We stumbled across this group of people who get together because they love to sing. There is a conductor and a man who plays the piano accordion and people just gather because of their love of singing. We stood and listened to their songs.... it was beautiful.



In another section people were playing musical instruments or exercising. No one seems to mind what they sound or look like or even who sees them.

My favorite would have to be the people playing cards and marjhong. Such a wonderful taste of life in China.
