<p>[00:00.00]UNIT10<br /> [00:13.65]A Solitary Quest<br /> [00:15.83]From my suite of rooms <br /> [00:18.78]atop the Holiday Inn <br /> [00:20.40]I surveyed the narrow alleys below me.<br /> [00:23.58]Only yesterday had I left <br /> [00:26.97]my frantic North American life behind, <br /> [00:29.70]to avail myself of an opportunity <br /> [00:31.89]to travel to China. <br /> [00:33.64]I wished to spend time <br /> [00:36.49]researching material for my thesis <br /> [00:39.11]pertaining to Eastern religions.<br /> [00:41.30]The hotel was in close proximity <br /> [00:45.46]to the heart of the old downtown. <br /> [00:48.19]Innumerable activities were happening below me. <br /> [00:52.57]People surged along the street sometimes <br /> [00:55.96]stopping to bargain with street vendors. <br /> [00:58.91]Cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, oranges <br /> [01:03.95]and grapes were heaped on hand carts. <br /> [01:06.68]The variety of fruit available <br /> [01:09.86]provided a virtual feast for the eyes. <br /> [01:13.03]Deliverymen jogged along <br /> [01:16.20]pulling enormous loads of cardboard. <br /> [01:18.71]To a Westerner's eyes cars merged <br /> [01:22.43]unbelievably without incident. <br /> [01:24.85]It appeared to be a dubious process <br /> [01:28.35]to negotiate the traffic <br /> [01:30.31]and even cross the street.<br /> [01:32.06]However, rather than lounging indoors, <br /> [01:36.55]I decided to venture outside <br /> [01:39.18]to explore the colorful world below. <br /> [01:41.58]I was interested in <br /> [01:44.53]locating a church to attend, <br /> [01:46.18]as today was Sunday. <br /> [01:47.93]On the street I made tentative enquiries <br /> [01:52.30]about locating a Christian chapel. <br /> [01:55.25]At times the congestion of people <br /> [01:58.54]hampered my progress. <br /> [02:00.29]Stares from passers-by made me feel conspicuous. <br /> [02:04.78]The weather was hot and humid <br /> [02:07.73]and there was some possibility of a typhoon <br /> [02:10.46]reaching the city later in the day.<br /> [02:13.09]After several false leads <br /> [02:16.85]I found myself standing <br /> [02:18.60]in front of a very old Christian Church, <br /> [02:22.21]established by missionaries during the last dynasty <br /> [02:26.04]and at the beginning of the last century. <br /> [02:28.99]With the onset of a light sprinkle, <br /> [02:32.16]I made a hasty retreat to shelter <br /> [02:34.90]in the doorway of the church. <br /> [02:36.87]The familiar refrain of well-known hymns <br /> [02:40.70]rang out within the church. <br /> [02:42.34]I felt drawn inside to <br /> [02:44.96]join the fellowship in a foreign land. <br /> [02:47.48]Even though our languages differed, <br /> [02:50.66]my gracious hosts nonetheless, <br /> [02:53.17]made room for me, <br /> [02:54.48]and made me feel welcome.</p>
