Weekend approaches

Well the weekend is here again. There's a lot of activities going on over the weekend and I have to prioritise and decide what to do. When ever I hear from friends telling me that Perth is a really boring place, I am really amazed by it as I don't think so and haven't found it so. Maybe it's also depends on their interests but if you are looking for variety, sports or food, you can definitely find it. Maybe a little bit of searching or just taking note of it when ads for events come out.

Anyway, usually on every Saturday morning, we'll go for Tai chi lesson. We started Tai chi about 2 months ago. I've always been interested in martial arts and have done different types over the years but after being told by the doctor that I've to stop getting injuries or I might injured my spine more seriously, I thought that Tai chi might be a good thing. Looked around on the net and made some enquiries but no replies from the e-mails I sent out until I came across this website, Taoist Tai Chi of Australia. It's an non-profit organisation run by volunteers and the great thing is that they have different locations and for the monthly fee that you pay, you can go for as many of the lessons as you wish. The form they are doing is different from the Chen or Yang style but it was adapted by Master Moy from the Yans style of Tai chi. I found another website that is pretty good in describing the different forms and they have videos of the different forms.

This weekend, they are having the Good Food and Wine Show and it costs $30 per person. For that price, there will be celebrity master chef shows/classes, show booths, and of course wine classes. Not too bad actually. I think I'll go down on Sunday for the show but will have to negotiate with wife as she wants to go to the Craft, Art and Quilt fair that is also going on on the same day.

Furthermore, this weekend they are also having the Avon Descent which is actually an annual competiton involving all the different water sports that can be done on the river, even things like power dinghy. Will have to skip it this year as I don't think I can be at so many places at one time. Pity though as I think that it's going to be fantastic chance for some great sports photography.
