Sand Storm

 March in Beijing is the sand storm season. It's so nasty and dirty everywhere. I gotta wipe my floor every day or else I would step on levels of dust. (ill~) Yesterday was even more nasty, the whole sky was brown in the morning. And when I breathed, I could feel the dust.

The dirty air seriously doesnt do good to my health. My coughing problem is bad. don't stop coughing until tears come out. sigh, it's esp. embarrassing during my yoga class, when everyone is so quiet. But when the instructor says b-r-e-a-t-h~ i-n~, I started to cough non-stop again! (it sounds like a joke, but it's not even funny :\)

Other than the nasty air, things in Beijing have been doing not bad. (Sorry that I barely talked to you guys since I left the States) I have less drinking and partying, coz my party frd has a severe allergy, and can't drink alcohol no more, but more sight-seeing =] We finally find time to go to 天壇 and 頤和園. They are both very worth-going. I should upload my pics to show you guys soon. umm... we also tried many new restaurants in Beijing.

Now my friends and I are planning some trips for the couple month left. We really wanna take time off to go to Tibet, then the news came out and we have no hope to go no more. The Chinese government  don't  even let anybody in. The funny thing is the news yesterday said Tibet has already returned to normal~ MY ASS! They even blocked you-tube again so that no one can say what's exactly going on in Tibet. Can never trust what the news tell you!

so yea, we changed the plan to 西安 to see 兵馬俑, 華山... and hopefully 少林寺 too if time allows.
I feel like there are so many things I want to do, yet so little time left. School is getting more busy now, as mid-terms and presentations come up. I am also busy with my dad lately, going on a business trip to Shanghai next week and back on Sunday midnight, when I have a presentation on the next day morning~ whee~ I will see how I am gonna make this work. (Oh I might see Anson there. )

That's about it for the updates. I still gotta get back to work. It's 8:50 in the morning, I have about an hour to finish my paper (in Chinese ). Depends on the time, I reli wanna go see the 敦煌壁画 at the National Art Museum. Today is the last day. Hope I have enuf time.

Alright, guys, take care. I will update more when I am more free. Hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break! =]

There was a small duststorm in December before I left and then now is the every-year sandstorm, when the whole city is yellow. I guess the Communists aren't Christians, so no~ we don't have Easter holiday, but we do have a two days break for 5-1 Labor Day. It's crowded everywhere in China, so can't get around at all. Im going to Jay Chou's concert on May 1, and then probably just chill and do some school work for the rest of the break. =)

少林寺 isn't in 西安, but it's around there. that's why I'm not sure if we can make it. =/
