Links and Info

Hi!

So, if you're reading this then you probably know me, and you may or may not know why I'm writing this blog.

The short version is: I'm going to go learn Kung Fu and this blog will let you follow me in my doings in Qufu, China and the Shaolin School there.

The medium version: About a year and a half ago my friend told me about a kung fu school in China she wanted to go to once she saved up enough money (she's now going summer 2012). I immediately was drawn to the idea, so I started talking to my family as though I was actually planning to go the fall after I graduated high school. With some persuasion and a little more research, I'm now officially going to the Qufu Shaolin Kung Fu School in China.

The long version...? That would be the rest of this blog, which you can follow and stuff.

The original website that I looked at is here: http://shaolins.com/. I always thought it looked just a little bit sketchy. :| But now I'm going to this one: http://www.shaolinskungfu.com/ which somehow looks a little safer. ;)

Although I'm always saying I want to stay over there for six months, it will probably end up being more like 5 1/2 months... or maybe less?

We'll see.
