This week isn't really going so well. I mean, not really. Today is the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节）. This is the celebration of the Chinese Moon Goddess who makes medicine for the other gods and lives on the moon with a jade rabbit. Or something. It involves eating moon cakes, mostly, in my estimation, although everyone I know is tired of them already.
In any case, there were some loose plans to go SOMEwhere for this three day break. Those plans have not panned out, however. The weather, for one, is terrible. On Monday, it was still summer. Today? It's winter, inexplicably. The temperature dropped from nearly 35°C (95°F) to about 15°C (59°F). It's very strange, indeed.
In any case, it looks like this little break ours will be spent in my hotel room. Sigh.
Xmas. The mall seems to think its Christmas already. Well, actually, I don't think they ever take the decorations down.
