		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m never good at goodbyes. Especially when I&#8217;m the one leaving. This has been an exceptional month, despite the obstacles I faced during my early days here. I&#8217;m not going to say that it has been a bed or roses. There were ups and downs, but thankfully there were many more ups then there were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My fourth week has passed, the adventure is almost over. I now have only a few days left at the school. This week has brought forth yet more new arrivals. One of which was a fellow contact staffer! It was great having someone to talk and share tricks with. I have learnt so much, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The end of my third week has come. This also signals the impending end of this little adventure that looms just over the horizon. Training-wise it&#8217;s been good. Both during the week just past and my overall time spent here. I&#8217;m still not confident of the way things are run here, but on the bright [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every night from about 7:30pm onwards, the street vendors setup show outside the school. It&#8217;s a simple little setup, a  trough with charcoal, a rickety wooden seat, small tiny tables, and cheap plastic chairs. You&#8217;d go there and order what you want and it&#8217;ll be cooked for you over the coals. Simple but extremely tasty. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feicha, roughly translated into &#8220;flying fork&#8221; or &#8220;flying trident&#8221;. At first glance, Feicha looks a lot like contact staff. In fact, when I first saw it, I thought that it was a restrictive and boring form of contact staff. I am unable to find much information on the history of Feicha online. But I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the skills that I&#8217;ve been training here is Straps (also known as Pitiao). Wang Laushi has been teaching me for a few lessons before I was officially enrolled in the school. He has a habit of shouting alot, not in an angry or aggressive tone, but just loud. Unsurprisingly this has earned him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday marked the end of my first week of official training and my second week at the Beijing Circus School. My progress seems to have stagnated this week. No big improvement in Feicha, nor straps, nor tumbling. In fact I managed to strain my back from straps on Thursday. And yesterday I rolled my right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went though the &#8220;jian mian&#8221; (see/view face) session this morning. The school wanted to see where I was at physically and what skills I already had. It was pretty simple, a few flexibility tests and a quick demo of other skills that I had. It all went well except for my subject choices. First, [...]]]></description>

But I&#8217;m still not going to hold my breath for Aerial Silks classes to be open or available. Today has been a good day for Feicha. I began consistently nailing a Feicha [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was gloomy, both the skies and my mood. Ended up going over to Coolgers for some tea and Internet access. Still feeling tired, frustrated and overwhelmed, I decided that my contact staff skills have stagnated for far too long. So, I went to the Home Of Poi forums and MCP&#8217;s site to see what [...]]]></description>
