>i called, You answered, i wanna be where You are

Two of my friends came with me to my hometown (Nanjing) for the week break. They both stayed at my house. We went siteseeing at 中山陵 and 莫愁湖. I haven’t been to these two places in a very long time so it was good to visit again. Also visited夫子庙 a few times to shop around. These three are the main tourist attractions in Nanjing. We also shopped and ate in the city centre a few times too. On Christmas day we went to the biggest church in Nanjing, and on New Year’s Eve we stayed home to watch a New Year’s Eve chinese concert on television. A few of my favourite singers were performing that night so it was quite exciting.

There isn’t actually that many places to visit in Nanjing. Everytime I come back is mainly to visit family and friends, and ofcourse to shop. I spent the first day of the new year visiting relatvies from my mother’s side. Some of them live in the outskirts of Nanjing so we drove there and hand lunch together. After lunch two of my great aunts took me to buy a much needed hand carry luggage. I didn’t bring a hang carry to China because I was just planning to buy one here. And since I already bought so many things in Hangzhou and Nanjing, I would not be able to make it to Beijing without a hand carry. On top of that, I had to leave behind quite a few pieces of clothing in my Nanjing house because they just could not fit in my luggage. My dad travels to and from China and Australia quite often so he is able to bring some stuff back for me if needed.

On the way to Nanjing airport, the taxi I was in broke down on the airport freeway! My two friends took another taxi. Seriously thank God that when my taxi broke down, my friends’ taxi was just in front of us. When we left home my relatives told the two taxi drivers to follow each other. So their taxi reversed to where I was and took me and my luggage on. We could barely fit. If they weren’t there, I would’ve missed my flight because we were on the airport freeway and there would be no empty taxis going to the freeway. Phew!

Expecting Beijing to be a lot colder than Hangzhou and Nanjing. So my friends and I all bought 羽绒服 (feather down jacket). Also expecting Beijing to have more classes everyday and harder classes too. I’ve never been to Beijing before so this is quite exciting. The flight from Nanjing to Beijing only took 2 hours. I’ve also heard from past students that the Beijing dormitories are not as nice as the Hangzhou ones. So expecting the worst. But it shouldn’t be that bad, I’ve lived in much worse conditions before – spent 3 days on a small dingy boat, 4 people in 1 super small dorm, with a tiny smelly bathroom and toilet with a broken flush.
