Xiamen, a shiny new city welcomes us. Flashy skyscrapers, overhead metro, fast-food chain, well organized road ... ... No wonders this is one of China most livable city. It is clean and modern, on an island, by the coast. People here are relaxed and to me, honest.
A day in Xiamen, and we boarded Cosco Star cruise to get the Taiwan. It was interesting to sleep to the gentle motion of the ship. There are many types of rooms on the cruise. I saw floor room where people sleep on mattresses on floor. There were about 50 men per room. Then there are the common dormitory with common toilets. No much privacy. There are also privates- 2 person room, 6 person room. We took the 6 person dorm private room. It has a toilet and it was good to have some time to ourselves.
When we opened our eyes next, we have arrived in Taiwan, Keelung in the north.
The Asian Dharma Celebration went in a breeze. Too soon, we are back in China. However, mentally, we returned charged, with renewed courage and energy to keep practicing. In this prolonged holiday, ADC is our holiday within. It was fantastic to see everyone, and especially to see our teachers, to be inspired again.
