赵誉龙 (Zhao Yulong)
effortlessly springs into the air, freezes with leg and fist extended in an
angular attack as if gravity is a force he chooses to obey on occasion, then
silently alights back on the ground. 赵誉龙 is our Shaolin Kungfu teacher for the day. During our
two-hour lessons he coaches us through stretches, self-defense, jumps, and
eventually flying kicks. He was very patient and applauded our often disastrous
attempts to imitate his perfectly poised motions.
For lunch we ate authentic Greek food! Feta
cheese, yogurt with dill, hummus and pita.
After lunch,we took a bus to the Science and
Technology Museum. The bus stop was lined by a thick median strip filled with
deep purple lilacs. The Science and Technology Museum was very interesting,
filled with interactive exhibits. Abby and I wandered through a warped-mirror
labyrinth, played a game akin to quidditch with a Minnie Mouse patterned beach
ball and an ancient air shooter, and swung on a pendulum bench. One of my
favorite areas was called “The Room for Color.” Inside, blue, green, red, and
white lights alternated illuminating a normal living room. Each light greatly
changed the hue of every object. Abby’s red shoes flashed from orange to black
to deep blue.
