彝族舞曲



Here is a video of me playing a classical version of a song originally played on Chinese traditional instruments such as the pipa which is an ancient Chinese guitar. This version was composed by Wang Huiran in 1960. It is called "Yi Dance". The Yi people are an ethnic minority group primarily located in Yunnan, China. I am still trying to add more to it, but this is what I got so far. I had to save it as a small file to post it so the quality is not that great. I hope you like it...PEACE

The Plan





so lately I have been working very hard to get a scholarship for China done on time. I have been driving all over this good ole state of Minnesota. I am hoping and praying that this scholarship will come through, but either way I have made up my mind that I am going to China. I don't want to give up on my dream of speaking another language, traveling the world, and making a positive impact. I think moving to China is the best place to continue my journey in life and maybe...just maybe learn to speak putong hua (Mandarin Chinese) My plan is to go to school in Kunming which is in South West China. I applied for Yunnan Normal University and I'm waiting to see if i am accepted and if I can get a scholarship. The plan is to set up shop in China and learn Chinese, have fun and travel around. Ayight my peoples....One Love
