Extra Information
This Experience includes:
Got this for my boyfriend as Valentine's day present and he loves it (so do I lol)! My boyfriend speaks reads and writes intermediate Chinese, and I am a native speaker. With that said, we both found it a challenging task yet a great deal of fun. The instructor was rather strict and he kept telling us to focus, observe, wait and see his example. While he was complimenting my boyfriend's calligraphy, telling me he was doing better as a westerner, I couldn't help but feel hurt :( Turned out he is a better observer than I am, and I would be "practicing" calligraphy from how I already knew the words were to be written.
In the end we were able to bring home a calligraphy work of ours. Immensely proud XP!! If only we could have perhaps another half an hour, we would be able to practice just a little bit more without getting too frustrated or bored.
Recommending to all of you looking for a quiet and artsy weekend. However, you really do need to know a bit of Chinese to enjoy...
