Help import body-soothing experience

by Phillis Head
Special to The Review

Wanted: Participants in Wu
Style Taiji during April, May,
June, 1993.

Instructed by Masters Sheeah
Yuan Bin and Lin Shu Rong with
interpreter, Yao Dong Jufrom
Dalian, Liaoning Province, Peo-
ples Republic of China.

Contributions to help pay their
airfare and act as hosts during
their stay.

Call Phyllis Head, if interested,
at 655-4036.

In the northeast section of the
Peoples’ Republic of China, Lia-
oning Province, Dalian is on a
peninsula, with a climate much the
same as that on Vancouver Island.

Dalian, where I recently taught
Conversational English to high
school students for a period of four
months, is an industrial city of four
million people.

Now that I’ve returned home to
Sidney, enjoying the autumn
weather, puttering in my garden, a
wave of nostalgia envelops me.

I miss the friendship of those
who treated me with affection and
protection.

I would like to reciprocate their
friendship by inviting them to our
beautiful Saanich Peninsula.

Living in China rather than
looking at China is a very different
experience.

Zhongshan Square, the central
round-about park of Dalian was
my greatest joy.

Every morning, at 6 a.m. I
joined a Taijishen group. Every
evening, I was given instructions,
learning each movement thor-
oughly.

There are five basic kinds of —

Chinese Taiji and many variations
of those. Wu Style is particularly
designed to benefit the internal
organs. (I have found no Canadian
group acquainted with this style.)

“Taiji is very useful in disease
preventing and body building. It
combines quietness with moving.”

While travelling, I joined groups
in Other cities and was able to
follow other sequences of move-
ment. People always would find a
place for me, offering me positive
“criticism.”

I arrived home feeling very fit
and well. I stand taller and feel a

relaxed sense of well being from
the experiences.

There are two teaching masters,

with an interpreter, who would like

to come and be our guests: Teach-
ing Masters Xia Yuan-bin and Lin
shu-rong, and interpreter Yao
Dong-ju are all from Dalian. They
are not interested in compensation.

I’m sure there are people on our
Island who would like to be a part

of these experiences for three

TOO YOUNG FOR sana-
box games, but too old
not to be curious about
the wonderful assort-
ment of foys available
for Sidney Preschool stu-
dents at Sf. Paul’s United
Church on Malaview
Avenue in Sidney. This
youngster was one of
many at the preschool’s
open house fhat was
well attended on Satur
day. Current students
and preschool! alumni
enjoyed both indoor and
outdoor games.

BE A SMART MOVE UP BUYER

Did you buy your first home intending to stay there
for just a few years? Have your space needs changed or
has your income increased to the point where you're
planning to start looking for house number two?

In most cases, it’s easier to find that second home than
to find buyers for your first one. As part of your strategy,
it’s best to have your home under contract before you
begin a serious new home search. This will make you.
look attractive to sellers in two ways. First, you won’t
have to include a contingency in your offer covering the
sale of your home. Second, you will look more qualified
financially if there is no need for a bridge loan. Both of
these factors will improve your bargaining position if
you plan to negotiate the price or terms. If you find
yourself in a multiple offer situation, the chances that
your offer will be accepted will increase dramatically.

If there’s a move in your future, talk to us, Tim or
Arlene, at 652-5171. NRS Properties Ltd. ©
