Perth

We never know what’s going to happen in the future. Life is full of accidents.

At the beginning, we were struggling with hiring a decent venue for the Tae Kwon Do demonstration due to high expenses. We had never imagined that we could get more financial sponsorship at that stage, but it happened. Now, we are looking for other venues for the demonstration, even in another city in Australia, Perth.

It is a bit easier than when I started to look for a venue in Sydney. Experience makes everything easier. I have been researching some venues in Perth. There are great theatre style hall, such as Perth Concert Hall, but the hiring cost is higher than we expected. There is a decent hall in University of Western Australia, but we do not know how accessible it is for the public, so we are a bit intimidating to approach to it. The most irritating matter in terms of holding the event in Perth is I do not know much about Perth. As matter of fact, I do not know where the University of WA is at. I rely on the cutting edged technology, Google Map, to figure out the locations of the venues. (Actually, it is clear enough to get the hang of the geography of Perth) I also concern about some more hardships in terms of promotion, site management, and so on. I assume that it would be good to hire a person in Perth to coordinate the event over there. We will think about it after we assure the event schedule.

While I was looking for the venue in Perth, another accident had happened. I was talking with one of the venue managers and I tried to explain what Tae Kwon Do (Korean Martial Arts) is because most of the venue managers I had talked to before were not aware of it. However, the person I have talked to recently, have learnt Tae Kwon Do for four years. He definitely has more knowledge than me about Tae Kwon Do I assume. I realise that you never imagine who you will meet (or talk to) in the future, because life is full of accidents.

  1. In life and art, sometimes 'happy accidents' make the best results possible! :)
    Good luck with your internship, it sounds like you are learning/ experiencing a lot... and much of it is very worthwhile.
