Flippin
Day of the Ninja
No further explanation required.
In other news, had another army weekend just past. It was pretty sweet, I got to fire an F89 (minimi). Tough work again, but it wouldn't be very army if it wasn't. Might have to work on a bit of fitness to make these things a bit easier. The muppet award this week went to a person who shot a POW. Apparantly the POW ran out of ammo and came out of his little shelter with his hands up and no rifle, then BANG! What makes it great is that there was no sound, gunfire had stopped, he walks out and theres a loud BANG, followed by one of the staff saying "Ohhh, there's a war crime...".

Wushu Degree
Beijing Sport University
Briefing about Programs for International Students
Ok, I'd give just about anything to go to Beijing and learn wushu full time for 4 years. That would be so very very cool. I'm going to have to look into what such an endeavour will take. So far I know that among other things it will take $3000 US per study year, not so bad when you have HECS to take it off your back for a while but a bitch to pay up front. There might be scholarships I could apply for, but I think that people who can already speak chinese would probably get them. Still, must find out more.
