I was pondering over the thought as I was wondering around Chinatown today how quickly the day is over now that it is Autumn. I tried for the life of me to find a nice Chinese dress as I have an interview to do on Froday on my other half's tv show but I was walking and walking for hours to no avail. Chinese gilrls are tall and thin and beautiful and poor little me is a little 155 metre midget so nothing really looked flatering on me. Oh well I am empty handed and will probably have to wear my same old same old stuff. Never mind we can't be lucky all the time. I think I will have to get some clothes taylored, then I may have a chance to look a little prettier.
Well my Friends, How can I go around blogging in the Wu Ji without ever giving a mention about one of the greatest Mariner's of all time? We all read chapters in abundance on the journeys of Christopher Columbus but the Great Zheng Ho of China never gets a look in! I have to say our history teaching in the West surely needs a revamp if it wants to be a hell of a lot more fair and balanced otherwise everything would end up a bit like the Oreilly Factor! Not that I don't find him entertaining and I do agree with a lot of what he has to say, but we need two sides of the coin to flip and Zheng He needs to be given equal at least creditbilty, if I may say so, if not more, than our European counterparts of the time. I am not going to waffle on about his life as there are loads of sites that will elaborate on his existence but I wanted just to give my 2 cents and shine a lantern on the man that has been greatly neglected in our history lessons at school. Let's take note and rectify that.. Here are some links on the Great man Himself. I hereby pay tribute to you Master Zheng He..
I love the way Chinese people celebrate their festivals..With vibrant colour and a warmth that could be translated into a spicy curry for two on a romantic night in. Here is one of my favourite renditions of Naner as I always goback and forth to Youtube lol.I always have to listen to this version..Whenever I need the energy..just like this very moment..boy I need some fresh chi, tha Manhattan air is getting a bit stiffling now.I need to see some greenery..
Ha lovely to be back in My China Home..Oh how much I have missed this place but now thanks to my login issues being resolved I can run rampant again with my friends in my China Land.. I am learning a new song at the moment and I love it more and more with each day passing. It's called XINJIANG HAO and it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I think ti's that warm Xila blood running in my veins lol.
Here are the lyrics and a version of it I found on Youtube. Mine isn't ready yet lol.
