About Me:
I moved here (Shanghai) in March 2007 and it looks like I might stay for a while. I'm somewhat reckless, a little impulsive and a big fan of pursuing happiness :)
Started training in Taipei in 2005, then in Vancouver in 2006. When I moved to Shanghai there were people training but no organized group - but we have since become the first Capoeira Mandinga group in China, and held our first batizado in September of 2008.
Gonna backpack Japan with a friend, so...Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Osaka, Hiroshima. Let me know where there's some capoeira, I want to see what it's like over there :D
Lol I actually saw some capoeira on a chinese sereies show several months back. I was so fabagasted. Victoria batizado is March 6-8. Yah berimbau from HK, I doubt I'll be able to play him since it's a batizado, but it'll be nice to see who he is and watch him play :D
haha yah injuries sure as hell makes one feel old >< got two messed up knees now sigh.
Wow, sounds like you get a lot of excitement over there :P I wish we had more workshops with different mestres, that'd be awesome! For victoria, I hear Bambu (form hk? or is that berimbau?) will be coming, so that'll be cool to finally see the person I've been hearing a lot about.
Wow japan...I'm going to japan in june, and no I'm not going on the brazil trip unfortunately :( I plan to go on the next one though, maybe three years later. Hopefully I'll have a decent job by then :D
Great to hear that your grupo is growing! It's great that you're doing so much for your grupo (I guess that's the pro of having a small group). You gotta take more pictures! I want to see what it's like over there :D
heh, yes I'm making an effort to use this place more. well at least you got your site all vamped up with lovely backgrounds ;) You did motivate me to put up some pictures though XD
Things are going good. Victoria batizado is coming up, so I'm hoping I'll be ready for it. although I'm feeling rather stiff and "old" these days. I wish I can train more (busy due to school) and have more energy for training (I wonder if I'm eating enough carbs/proteins). Other than that, it's great to have lelo here for the past several months. Wish he'll never travel again XD
