I think I mentioned before about the way the Chinese holiday works, many people will get seven days off in a row but they don’t seem to mind having to work the weekend before the holiday starts and so in fact they have to work seven days to get seven days off and they all seem to think that this is great, mind you I suppose any holiday in China is great because they are few and far between. When you happen to mention just how many holidays many western countries get they are usually astounded. I will be having a fairly quiet week I think, in fact today I got up and went to the park and then started to watch the new series of Grand Designs which was good. I had a great lunch and then I wandered back home and then had a siesta which is the best way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. I decided that today was going to be a very simple day and so far it is. I spent a bit of time trying to finalise my travel plans and next visa run which just seems to come around way too quick.

The sun is setting once more and the temperature is dropping quite quickly and so the beanie will be getting clamped on to my head very soon. Today was a pleasant 28c and with the colder nights it’s becoming easier to sleep.

Tomorrow I will be heading out but not too sure where at this stage, I’m heading out with friends so I will keep you posted if I go somewhere exotic. On Tuesday I will go for a hike to one of the local mountains and I’m hoping it’s not going to be too crowded, however it is the National Holiday. They forecast sun and pleasant temperatures for the week and so gods have been kind.

Well on that note I will go and make some food, my stomach is beginning to talk to me………….
