Kunyu and leaving day
Though the academy was not what I thought it would be like I still enjoyed my experience at Kunyu Shan very much. The people were great, the surroundings stunningly beautiful and the Masters, though sometimes flawed in character are good at their jobs. The main disappointment was simply the running of the academy by Su. He employed no real structure, has no vision and has the honesty of a politician with the communication skills of one too. I dislike him as he has the opportunity to do something great with this place but instead behaves like a small minded, unprofessional idiot who only fixates on the short term profit forgoing any professionalism and moral conduct.
Kunyu academy is like an international hostel with beautiful surroundings and Kung fu. You can expect at its worst, chocolate, biscuits, Soft drinks, DVD watching, brothels, karaoke, drinking, smoking, miscommunication, deceit, the feeling of being ripped off, girls walking around wearing make up, and witnessing students whom should of spent some time training before they came to China. At its best it is an eclectic mix of students who are interesting, friendly and sociable with some hardcore dudes, surroundings that are tranquil, inspiring, enlightening, the mood can be fun, good kung-fu and a place you can call home.
I enjoyed my time there but towards the end i just found myself frustrated with the limitations of the facilities and the lack of decent management. Their is so much that could be improved upon but nontheless a very interesting and memorable experience.
It took me 2min to pack as all I brought was a small backpack. I had a taxi booked at 12:30. About 12:20 went outside and chilled with a group of people who had come to send me off. They all seemed impressed that all I had was the small back pack. Said goodbye to everyone. I know I should of said more but I just shook everyones hand and left. Jeremy and Megan joined me in the cab. We picked up Hanah, Ori and Alan. Said goodbye to Ori and Alan at the hotsprings then picked up my ticket. We went to nice coffee place in Yantai. Which their isn't many as coffee shops are not big in China. But it was very nice. Arrived at the train station, hugged everyone, said my goodbyes and off I went. As soon as I turned away from everyone I felt alone, it was great.
