Chinese New Year!!

Hi all and hello to my new blog readers! I know it's quite a while since I last blogged, I spent some time to keep my life on track, it's still in progress but I hope to see it getting better! I started school again yesterday and I hope to have a better term!


It's currently Chinese New Year! The exact day is 23rd January but for us, the whole jolly Chinese New Year starts from the first day of Chinese New Year until the 15th! The festival begins on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day.

Beijing

I came home today from Beijing! It was a fun trip, met a few hilarious people and enjoyed myself!

It was quite cold, very often it is of negative degree Celsius, it can be as cold as -10 degree Celsius. I already wrapped myself up in hat, earmuffs, scarf, gloves, big thick coat and boots but my hands and feet were still so cold and numb. I couldn't even feel my face and my ears!

The food was nice, had a lot of kebabs! The historical sites are just spectacular! You have to see for yourself in all these big palaces, you walk for hours and you still have just seen a little part of it! The train rides was a little tiring but sitting with funny people and we talk and laugh and time passes quickly! I think it's somehow more interesting than a flight!

I am going to show you some pictures so you can have a glimpse at where I have been to as well!
