In July 2006 I had the opportunity to travel to Japan with my wife. We both love everything Japanese even though we're both Chinese. This was my fourth trip to Japan for performances for Marines. We especially enjoyed the great food and scenery. You might be wondering why there are pictures of fruit below. The fruit in Japan are all perfectly shaped and beautiful. You've never seen more beautiful fruit, but with perfection there comes a price. If you click on the picture you'll notice it cost about 4-5 US dollars per apple. You're also probably wondering why we took pictures of the soft serve ice cream, the sign says "natural Viagra". I didn't bother trying it and opted for the wasabi ice cream instead. As for the green deck of normal playing cards, they are sold only to military personnel on military bases. I was going to buy all of them but my wife only let me take a box of 144 home with me. Many magicians pay top dollar for these rare playing cards on ebay.
In November of 2006, I had another opportunity to visit China again. This time we visited, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Xian. The purpose of this trip was to watch the "The Seventh Wuhan Optics Valley International Acrobatic Art Festival of China". When we were presented our badges for the festival we tags had Guest of Honor labeled on them. My master trainer Lu Yi is highly respected in America's circus circle and now I found out that he is famous in China as well. Below is a picture of two people training. They two held this pose for over 45 minutes!
Next we traveled to a school in Nanjing and saw this girl do 200 handstand pushups in the period of 20 minutes with out touching the floor.
