Kia ora from China.
So a couple of days ago we arrived in Beijing and from there we were whisked of to Changchun city(a 2hr flight). We were welcomed with two huge bouquet of flowers and a whole lot of smiles and hand-shakes. It was a warm and efficient welcome which is what we needed because we were both dog tired. We were taken straight to our 4 star hotel room with a view and after a little adrenaline driven exploring of our room we were out like lights.

Since then Artists from all over the world have been arriving till now, our numbers have swelled to the full capacity of 50. There is a fair distribution of French,
English, and
Arabic speaking nations amongst us with
exception of a couple of guys who speak
Russian and some local
Chinese artist too. All together we make up a very interesting bunch.
Changchun Sculpture ParkThe last three days we have been swapping stories from the Pacific to the Atlantic, Russia to the
Caribbean, Dubai to Sierra Leone. It has been a humbling experience to be counted among this people sharing our culture, our heritage. Talking to these great people of the world I have realized once again how lucky we are as kiwis to live in a country such as ours,
Aotearoa, New Zealand.
