We met Jackie Chan
This was supposed to be called 'I met Jackie Chan' but something changed when I arrived at China for Jackie Chan's 60th Birthday party for the " International Fan Club - Love, Peace and Friendship Tour 2014" something that amazed me, instead of it being about me it became something bigger something better it became about us, the fans, the people that were there celebrating with me.
We arrived on the 6th April 2014 and after settling at Hotel we went to the Jackie Chan Peace, Friendship and Love Concert at the famous Beijing Worker‘s Gymnasium. Check out the video of Jackie at concert below:

We then got to visit Tiananmen Square and The forbidden City before heading to the Jackie Chan Fans party where we met the man himself it was one of the most exciting and emotional experiences of my life after watching Jackie on film for 30 years to actually meet him was a dream come true.
But enough about me the other surprise was being at the opening of the JC film Gallery check out these never before seen pictures below.

So many stories that so many people will tell for me it was an experience of a lifetime for others too. On the train to Shanghai we joked about how we could write some profound about the whole experience and didn't have a clue that is until Jody gave me a sweet and inside the wrapper was this quote "Satisfy your sense of surprise" WOW Surprised, 100% satisfied thank you, more than that Thank you to each and everyone I met on the trip to make the experience more than how I met Jackie Chan but how We met Jackie Chan. 😉
