Very impressive drawing room. Background to the host chairs is a painting of Nanjing City. Opposite walls hang pictures of Hangzhou (home town of Jiang Zemen, Ex-Leader of PRC) & Taizhou (home town of Hu Jintao, Ex-Leader of PRC).

Master Dickson demonstrating yoga therapy with Professor Teng, relieving stress off his neck & spine. He may look painful but he said he enjoyed and liked the treatment very much.

The meeting finishes with a group photo, with Jiangsu media celebrity Ms. Moon Jiang in it too. After that, we were invited to a sumptuous lunch by Professor, One of the dishes worth mentioning which is a Nanjing specialty is "Stew Puffer Fish", each guest is serve one whole fish, so you can have a feel of how heavy weight this luncheon is. As Master is a vegetarian, the host is very thoughtful to prepare a vege Nanjing specialty for him too. "Fried reed root with dried bean curd". Only the freshest part of reed root is being extracted, and it tastes really fresh, a bit like asparagus.

7 Feb, we have a meeting with the Jiangsu Sport Bureau meeting Nanjing Vice Mayor as well as President of the Bureau Chen and senior officials of the Bureau. Master Dickson explains his special style of yoga and his lifetime dream of spreading Dickson Yoga in China, his motherland.

Master Dickson teaches office yoga on the spot, demonstrating how real yoga can be practiced anytime anywhere. Master never forgets posing for the camera, even when adjusting a yoga posture. See, hanuman yoga can be performed just with a door. President Chen is so impressed that he films the whole thing. This is indeed a successful meeting. President Chen agrees to let Yoga Alliance China use one of the offices in the Bureau as its official address! Like!

In the evening, Master Dickson performed yoga therapy on Moon (Master's good friend and media celebrity) and her good friend Ge. He let them try Hanuman yoga too. It's their first time doing inversion and hanging on the wall, but with Master there, it's only fun and soothing. No fear at all!
