In the morning, we visited the Shaolin temple, the place where Buddhist monks created Kung Fu as a counterbalance to meditation, and for self-defense. We saw an amazing Kung Fu show with elastic children, animal inspired fighting styles (fighters making movements like a monkey, a snake or a tiger). They demonstrated breaking a sword against a head and popping a balloon through a glass without a needle, etc. We saw a temple whose floor is depressed by monks practicing jumps over many years and trees with holes made by punches. My girls were thrilled by the temple and Kung Fu, even while none is practicing any martial arts.
