China (Where the old seize the day)

I travel for a lot of reasons. I love older places rich in history, but every time I get my fill of museums, castles, old pubs etc, it always comes down to what the people who live there are like which sparks my memories of the trip itself.
I applied for a visa and traveled to China to see if the Cormorant fishermen were still out there doing what they had always done historically now that newer technologies were available.
They were very old, but top my delight were still there.That was AMAZING..but I came home with an unexpected favorite memory.. It was there vitality of the older generation and their appoach to life, fitness, health and community..This short little video can help explain bette,. I hope.

Being Asian, the way we treat our elder infuriates me, and the way the old who are rich and influential but continues to hold on to power and sideline anyone that challenge them young or otherwise remains me of King Lear.

Anytime I travel I try to stay only in the cities where the money is just to decompress from the trip and plan the rest of my trip. I enjoyed my time and the people much more out west. The smaller villages offer much more culture and the people are very kind. I got the impression the elderly were light on their feet vs the younger generation. But maybe that’s just me
