Did I ever mention that I love Grandma’s Kitchen? For one, the food has never let me down. Plus they have free wireless here as well! Now how cool is that? I get to have food & be online at the same time!! Bwahahahak!!!
Anyways,it’s the National Day(10/1) holidays here in China & they’ve got a week long holiday. What usually happens during this week? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Most people usually take the opportunity to go places, visit relatives outside of Beijing or just chill out.
I was told that the last few years, the 10/1 holidays had always been a bad time for some people to a certain extent. Most shops would be closed & there wouldn’t be anything much for people to do. But this year is different. More shops are open & there are things that I can do.
I might go visit a few parks which I’ve been wanting to go to since I first got here. Maybe visit Temple of Heaven or just go for a walk in Bei Hai park or something. I’m still contemplating going all the way out to Summer Palace but I don’t know. I’ve read that you can even go up the Beijing TV tower to just take in the view. That should be interesting, provided the sky is not covered by its usual blanket of pollution in the sky. I actually want to go to the Beijing zoo but I know that seeing the animals in the disturbingly dirty enclosures would just kill me inside so that’s out. I might even consider going to Tianjin but I don’t know who to ask to go with me..this one requires more thinking..
So, I’ve got a week at least before I head back to Singapore & turn back into a workaholic so I’m going to try to do as much as I can. I’ll definately want to take lots of pictures just so that I start doing my whole picture collection again.
