Because of the cny we are off work for 9 days! wohoo! Ok we have to work one weekend and two days are actually a weekend so it is more like 5 days off, but it is very welcomed. I have the chance to get stuff done: go to ikea, exploring the neighbourhood, get a gym card etc...Ikea is just the same here: by passing the entrance you have spend 1000 rmb (kr) on värmeljus and servetter by default. I am waiting for my 20 boxes of Singapore stuff that is being shipped here right now, although customs will probably not release my things until end of the months. gah.
I have been walking a lot, which I really enjoy! The weather is perfect for strolling around, not too cold or hot and very sunny. Yesterday was a bad smog day, but otherwise it has been good! There is a lot of mighty boulevards in Beijing, not so much cosy alleys. They say that Beijing is a city of politics and you can really feel it. It is also a city of contrasts, new v old.
(oh btw my tumour on my foot has disappeared. It must have popped from all the walking! hurra!)
