My three daughters and one son enjoy the "no worries/clothing optional" approach almost every day if it is warm enough!! Oh, to be unhindered by social norms.

The Yin and Yang symbol has been one that I have seen since middle school. It was on a surfing clothing line that I used to wear in 7th and 8th grades in Huntington Beach (arguably Surf City, USA). That symbol had little spots on either side also. I did not know what the symbol meant until much later. The name of the clothing company was Town and Country. Of course the whole thing makes much more sense to me now. I have long enjoyed considering the idea that you cannot have light without having darkness, otherwise you would not know what it was! My Western version of this idea is that you can't have Christmas every day....it wouldn't be Christmas.

I am so looking forward to seeing the Hengshan Temple one day. It reminds me of the Anasazi cliff dwellings in Arizona?, except I think the ones in China are quite a bit higher off the ground (canyon floor).
