1. The first stage is your starting point.
Started my mini-journey in the lotus gardens - a lone bloom waiting to become something bigger.
2. Walk in any direction for 50 to 100 paces, and then turn 180 degrees.
Conveniently, a sign pointing towards whence I came.
3. Continue walking in that direction until you see something blue.
A bicycle, with all the blue speed knocked out of it.
4. Make a left turn and walk 50 to 70 paces.
Exits beckon.
5. Walk in any direction until you see something that either is or looks like the number 7 or 11.
6. Take the first left, and continue walking until you find somewhere to sit.
A place to sit, reflect and, well, be reflected.
7. Choose any direction and walk for 25 to 50 paces.
Wicker baskets tottering in the drench of sun.
8. Continue walking until you see an unusual colour, shape or texture. Turn 180 degrees.
9. Keep walking in any direction until you see an archway or an unusual architectural feature.
10. Head for home, but continue looking for something that catches your eye.
A daily reminder that Chinese writing is pictographical by ancestry.
11. Take a photograph of yourself in front of that something unusual!
