VS Wushu Team: Beijing Training Trip (Day 8)
This is our last day of training and we hope that the boys will be able to give off their best.
We will be giving out certificates of participation and performance awards later in the day. I have been closely monitoring the boys performances with our 2 coaches and we will give awards for Best Athlete, Most Improved Athlete, Special Effort Award and Spartan Award.
From this clip, can you tell who our likely recipients are?

VS Wushu Team: Beijing Training Trip (Wang Fu Jin)
Tonight we went to Wang Fu Jin, Beijing's equivalent of Singapore's Orchard Road.
Each time I visit Beijing, I always visit Wang Fu Jin- there are 2 places that I always go to.
1) The Foreign Language Bookshop where you can buy a lot of good English translations of Chinese Books- including Wushu and Medical texts
2) The Night Market Street where you have grilled lamb skewers and other exotic stuff, like silkworm cocoons, spiders, crickets and scorpions.
That is a must for me each time there. So tonight, like the typical Singaporean, I eat to my hearts content
So here's a look at my supper treat:
My biggest treat for myself during the cold Beijing night was a nice, deep fried scorpion.
Yup and I ate it all by myself too!
I treated the boys to caramel fruits- check out the size of the strawberries from Xinjiang!
The boys have worked hard and tomorrow we will have our last day of training. So a small treat to reward them :)

VS Wushu Team: Beijing Training Trip (Dinner with China Wushu Coaches)
Tonight, we had the honour of meeting up with esteemed members of the Chinese Wushu fraternity.
Seated in the centre is Wu Bin. Presently, Wu Bin is the president of the Beijing Wushu Institute, the director of the Beijing Wushu Team, as well as holding top positions in the Chinese Wushu Association, Asian Wushu Federation, and the International Wushu Federation. He was responsible for discovering Jet Li and developing him into the champion athelete that he claimed 5 consecutives All-Round Men's titles in Wushu.
Standing on the extreme left is Xu Xiangdong, famous for his Eagle Claw.
In the in-flight movie, Champions that we saw on the way here, it was him that acted as the 'villian' in the movie.
Second from left is Dr Wang Man Cheng, Chinese Physician. He spent several years in Singapore and has helped in the rehab and treatment of several wushu athletes.
Standing in the centre is Coach Loh Poh Swee, next to him is me and Coach Di.
It certainly was a fruitful trip for us all to meet and exchange views with esteemed members of the Wushu fraternity in Beijing, China.
