another post, another day, another hospiteer-session

hahaha! - just to laugh it all off

ok, so yesterday i went to leiden to hospiteer again (see one of the previous posts for what hospiteren is); with like 11 canditates we all got on chance to introduce ourselves - i actually did well i think; not too shy etc - and then could leave again... i didn't get the room.
Yet the 2 x 3 hours journey to and from leiden wasn't useless: i (finally) met Kim Vinh. I had envisioned myself paying dinner for us two, but since i first wanted to know where the house was and it took us a long time to find it, we didn't get that far - actually only walked. :(
It was very nice, very good meeting him! Him showing the generosity i have experienced with the few other buddhists i met too - he gave me a book (Why should we receive and uphold the five precepts? - spoken by the Ven. Master Hsuan Hua - it made me very happy :D ); us talking about our lifes and adventures; me being kinda worried about where the house was and how the hospiteren would go.

So i got back home laaate and had to get up early! My old school, the Dr. Algraschool, my little brothers' current school, had sports-day today and i had signed up to help. That was cool! I supervised a time-run for children of about 9/10 yrs old: they'd run about 60 meters or so and i'd clock it, having fun with them. :) Children are fun. Though it is sad to see how some of them already do really have bad habits - one got angry, actually fighting; some refused to listen or couldn't listen to more than ten words or so; some used some really bad language...
And it was fun to see some of the teachers - for as far as they didn't leave and didn't come new - again! Actually talked for about 20 min with the teacher i had in 8th grade, the last year. :)

okay, from now on, the blog will mostly be my experiences in China!!!! :D:D:D
yeah!!

be safe, happy, and don't forget to smile (partly saying this to myself too of course :P)
