Diary entry thirty I've been getting a lot of emails about the new academy, I'm guessing that most people see the Seping academy one and then do some extra research and find this site and what I think of it etc etc. Firstly, Seping academy isn't that bad of a place. They have plenty of money now, and it's actually being spent on the students more then it was when I was there. The food got a lot better and more facilities are being built. Also aesthetically the building is much better. It looks more like a kung fu academy then this new place. Ok, I'm being vague again. I have no idea whether I'm supposed to talk about the school or not, there was a time that we were told to keep everything secret, but since then things may/may not have changed. Nobody tells me a thing. So I'll keep this very general. The building is just an abandoned factory. It is very new as a kung fu school. It looks just like an abandoned factory, in many many respects. The rooms are quite generous in size, and unlike Seping it is only one person to a room, and not three (Like it was when I was there.) Plus if you're staying for a long time you have the opportunity to decorate the room in any way you see fit. Well, I think you do, don't quote me on that. One of the other students was going to, but then he left, I don't know what that situation is for newer students. But there's about two hundred rooms in the building and only about ten are being used. There's a damn good chance that you'd get your own room. Food here is good. It used to suck, but then a load of people left so the staff took it as a point to improve things. Everyday we're guaranteed to get something that we like, and because there's so few of us we can pretty much suggest any changes that we'd like. At Seping I never got to eat. I would arrive on the stated dinner time, sometimes earlier, and BAMN no food left. Here we eat at a table and the food is brought to us, so no real chance of that happening. We have mats for gymnastic stuff, and now two softer mats for doing stupid crazy dangerous stuff. I don't have any problem with that. Some people say that you can't practice all of the moves, maybe they're right, I don't know. I haven't trained as many moves as that guy, and he seems to know what he's talking about. We now have a weights bench and barbell. Prices have literally been taken from Seping academy and reduced individually. This isn't necessarily a good thing though. It gives you the same trapping payment system as Seping, where as soon as you walk in the front door you have to pay for 2 months. There's still the $300 entry fee. And they charge $60 for being picked up from town, which lets face it is a rip off. That's optional though. The price starts at about $560 a months, but it depends on how long you're staying. I think if you're staying for 10 months, like I am, it's about $213 a month. But you can't come here say that you're staying for ten months and leave after 2 and only pay 213 for each, it doesn't work like that bucko. You pay for how long you actually end up staying. important note: we don't have heating, it's freezing cold all of the time. It's like being outside all of the time. The beds are alright though. I like the beds. Good beds. mmm-mmm. We have a washing machine now, we have toilets (squatting) with a LOCK ON THE DOOR, and a one person shower. note with the shower though, when you get out you pretty much die. Going from hot to cold like that is painful. I hate showering, I haven't had a shower since... I forget. Maybe weeks. Hey everyone, go here http://bamboovideo.com/attack.htm it's amazing. I aspire to be like these people. Liam
