This weekend is also CONFUCIUS ‘ birthday. Kong Zi, as he is known to the Chinese was born more then 25 centuries ago in China. He is one of the best know thinker-philosopher, credited with promoting values such as respect for elders and reciprocity.

I will go to the temple, pay my respects by make fruit and paper offerings. Hopefully HE will bestow luck and mental acuity on Canada’s Youth Team at the upcoming Mind Game in Beijing.
