PBS filmed Mr William, Tai-chi master at the Hong Kong intercontinental this morning for a TV series on unique & interesting services offered by hotels around the world.
Penelope was Mr William's only student this morning so was also filmed for the PBS special.
Highlights of the filming & prospect of being before an international audience include:
- sporting the literal & figurative just-out-of-bed look
- demonstrating what a beginner looks like doing tai-chi
- showing that even though you can't bend your knees or touch your palms right to the ground, or stand gracefully on one leg while lifting the other in the air & making an open-winged crane shape with your arms & a pointy beak with your fingers, that you can still enjoy tai chi
Mr William is gorgeous, about 90 years old, fit, centred with a great sense of humour. He is a gift to greet a new day.
