National Holiday Plans

Starting tomorrow, I will not have class for 8 days. This is because tomorrow is National Holiday. It is the equivalent of the Fourth of July for China. This is the 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China, so it is considered to be a big one.

Ben and I are travelling. We leave Shanghai tomorrow for Beijing. We will watch the festivities and the crazy amount of crowds in Beijing during their National Holiday night. We are then spending the next 5 days there, touring about. It is expected to be extremely crowded and chaotic due to the festivities, but it should make for a fun trip.

We are then headed straight to Xi'An to see the terracotta warriors and the Ancient sites of the city.

Finally, we will be taking the train back to Shanghai. I will not have computer access until I get back. Good luck to W&J XC this weekend at SRU. Run fast.

  1. one of the big things that chinese people do at celebrations is to have stand-up comedians in shows that mostly feature dancing/singing, hope you get a chance to catch one
