Just as an after thought to Feng Shui .. When it comes to very culture orientated ideas especially ones that stretch back thousands of years I have time to listen to what they have to say, mostly it seems they share very little,, but they are very interesting but when people enter the cultural concept and are there for a year or two then return claimin to be master of the "what ever" and it ismore hype writing thier books.
