Hubei Chime Bells

Located on the East Lake, Hubei Museum is one of the best-known museums in China, treasuring up numerous State-level historic and cultural relics.

The Chime Bells Hall in it displays mainly the relics unearthed from Zenghouyi Tomb.

In 1978, 15,000 articles were excavated from the Zenghouyi Tomb in Suizhou, including bronze ritual vessels and weapons, horses and carts, articles made of bamboo, lacquer, gold, jade, bamboo tubes, coffins, and musical instruments.

Exhibited in this hall are very rare items such as the chime bells, the crane standing on the antler, gold cups and jade plates.

The Zenghouyi Chime Bells are the most historically important relics. The complete set includes 65 bells hanging on a three-tiered rack weighing over 2,000 kilograms. On the bells are gold-plated inscriptions about music. Each bell can emit two tones. After over 1,000 years, the bells still sound perfect, ready to play melodies local and foreign, classic and modern.

The pictures of the actual bells were taken by me, however, the video I found on YouTube. The bells being played on the video are replicas.

TOO FAST

I GOT STOPPED FOR SPEEDING AGAIN THE OTHER DAY.



I THOUGHT I COULD TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT UNTIL THE COP LOOKED AT MY DOG IN THE BACK SEAT.



He said that this definitely was a sign that I was driving too fast...

China - Day 2 - Shanghai Museum

It may seem like I am dragging my China trip out, however, what I am really doing, by posting my pictures every few days, is reliving it. This enables me to, in a sense, to extend the best trip I have ever taken out over another couple of months.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section III - Installment #15 "Only Me” – Male & Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

If you are a regular reader of my Empowerment Process please read the Section II version of this poem first; then read this version.

Only Me

Whatever may happen, by accident or plan;
Whether by nature or whether by man;
No matter how terrible I feel I've been hit
I will look for the seed of a much greater benefit.

With every adversity, failure, and heartache;
With more bad news than I think I can take;
And all seems lost with nowhere to turn;
I'll take a deep breath, look, listen and learn.

Recovery and success are out there to find,
Because I believe in myself and I have a clear mind.
I'll stand up and stand tall and know that I will,
With courage and faith, conquer that hill.

I'm sure of myself, I know I won't fail.
I'll leave the doubters behind as I blaze my own trail.
Only I know what it is that I need.
I will decide not to fail, but succeed.

(An Original Poem by Mel Kaye)

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

• Look at current disasters in your life and find opportunities. Now look at them again and list what you will do to capitalize on these opportunities?

China - Arrival in Shanghai

As promised I will begin posting pictures of my trip to China. These posts will mostly be pics with just a little narration.

To set this up, my wife and I were in China about 20 years ago. China has gone from a third world country to a world power, although they still consider themselves a "developing" country. Bottom line is that China is nothing like I remembered it.

We arrived in Shanghai and I was immediately taken back by all of the construction. Following are some of the pictures I took from around our hotel, the Shangra La, and the views from our window.

This trip was completely through Viking River Cruises, which included all air, meals, hotels (all 5 star) transfers and excursions.

This was just the beginning of the most amazing trip I have taken yet.
