Well, it’s that time of year again where I should wish everyone well for the festive season. So Happy Holidays, and have a Happy New Year too while you’re at it!
It’s been two weeks since my last post and a lot has happened : i’ve lost a post in between with a server crash, and a few days aftermath recovering. Work has been busy (as has been horsing around!), and on top there were preparations for a cooking show i’d been dragged onto for CCTV2.
I’m off to Hong Kong in a few days time, but meanwhile it’s a comparatively unfestive Christmas here in Beijing. It’s definitely catching on: I remember a few years before when you wouldn’t even see a tree… now the supermarkets are lined with decorations and trees for sale; the major malls and estates are full of lights; and the annoying Christmas carols slowly becoming ubiquitous. Still, it doesn’t compare to home but it definitely makes a change – and even though it’s a normal working day today, at least i’m spared the wrath of telemarketer calls from Hong Kong.
It’s a special day after all!
