Niels and I are going on holiday starting Monday. We decided that instead of working a language camp or sitting around and doing nothing during the Spring Festival holiday, we'd take a real vacation, because we deserve it and if we don't go traveling during the holiday, it won't happen.

It's been quite cold in Zhengzhou, and we've actually had snow the past couple days. Today it's been snowing all day and there's quite a bit on the ground, not by Buffalo standards mind you. And we've been looking forward to getting away from the cold.

So we're going south, touring some cities in Guangxi province, it boarders Vietnam, and is supposed to be nice and warm, a good get away from the cold and snow. But, alas, not for us. It's supposed to snow the whole time we're there.

So much for hanging out on the beach.
