First of all, I can't believe that we've been here for a month already! The time has really flown by. It seems like yesterday that we arrived in the middle of the night and had no idea where we needed to go or what to do.
However, a lot has gone on in that month, we've sorted out our house, started a fitness trend that may sweep the world (actually going to the gym, not just buying a membership :), bought some bikes, ridden them around, had massages, gone to the markets, seen some fine Chinese architecture and antiquities, learned some Mandarin.
There are definitely a few things on the list, for example this weekend we are planning to go camping on the Great Wall for the weekend, doing some walking and sleeping in a guard tower. The weather is starting to change (and very quickly too) so we need to get in and do stuff while we can I guess. Bring on the next 11 months :)
Anyway, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. There aren't many people around and not much is going on really. It turns out that this is pretty much just a family holiday, no specific celebrations or anything. So we went to the shops and now back home to prepare for yet another Mandarin lesson.
Zaijian!! 再见 !!
