Taking a walk

Every evening after dinner, Jumbo and his family take a walk around town. Since they live nearby, they usually end up walking on the paved path along the river. At one point along the path, there is a large plaza area. People sit and talk, children roller skate, couples dance – and some people just stroll around. It is a wonderful opportunity to observe Chinese culture. While there are profound differences in the ways we think and believe, there are great similarities at a deeper level. I think there are some good things we could learn from our Chinese friends about how to relax and enjoy being together with other people.
