I just started teaching last week on the 25th of September and am on holiday again... This week is one of the three holiday seasons in China: October Holiday (National Holiday + Mid-Autumn Festival), Spring Festival and May Holiday. Before the holiday everybody was asking everybody about travelling plans. But all people I asked, replied that they won't travel because all places are too crowded since everbody's travelling. I also decided to stay at home, but started wondering why there are crowds everywhere, when in fact most people are not travelling to avoid the crowds...

Thursday we will go to Ye Fan's parents and stay with them until Saturday when we go to Grandma's. This will be my first Chinese family festival and I am sure on Sunday I will have a lot of stories to tell.

Right now I just spend my time working at home and redoing my homepage and stuff. But since I can just connect through phone line to internet it is quite tiring using the internet recently. In my office I do not have access to internet, but hopefully will soon have.
