Next year, if life is good to me, I shall be journeying to Hong Kong and then the Land of Oz before returning to Blighty.

Does anyone know of Wado clubs in HK. I might as well take a gi, who knows who I might bump into on my travels.

Err, home from home.

Anyway, I will probably have time for just one session. Finding a Wado club beforehand and making contact is courteous and there is already a common bond. Turning up to a Kung Fu club for one night isn't going to give me a whole lot and for it to be seen as some time filler is probably not how I would like to play it.

Cut me and I bleed Wado, or that might just be my bad tanto dori.

Oz is a big brown land Gordon, can you narrow that down a bit...?

I didn’t know that you stay only for one night!
I thought it will be longer so it will be a good opportunity to see other styles...
It was kind of funny you know,someone is in China the home of Kung Fu and searching for a Japanese style....

Ummmm
Wadoka,
Do you suppose Acer does not know that you are Chinese?

I was in old East Germany once and entered a Chinese restaurant. I think the owner was Cambodian or Vietnamese. Anyway we didn't speak German so I tried ordering food in Chinese...but he just sort of stared back at me. Thank God German sort of looks like Dutch because Kyudo our resident Dutchman figured out the Chinese German menu and did the ordering for us.

Yeah...
That was fun...
It was a Chinese restaurant ran by a Vietnamese in Germany. And we were in the company of a Scottish lady who speaks fluent Japanese and lives in Canada.
The world is getting smaller by the day...
