It’s already August 9. Some Chinese festivals and holidays are coming, such as Mid-autumn festival and Labour Day. They make me exciting and also a bit indecisive. The question about what to do in holidays is like the question what to eat for lunch. They are all the most difficult questions in the world because we have too many choices. Last Labour Day holidays, I went to Korea with my mother. It was not really a very satisfactory travel by comparison with the travels to Japan and Europe several years ago. And for the urgent time of getting a visa, I think staying in Shanghai is also not a bad choice. Maybe I can hang out with friends, do some exercise, draw an illustration or just learn English at home. It won’t be nothing to do. Overall I’m always looking forward the holiday.

It’s already August 9. Some Chinese festivals and holidays are coming, such as Mid-autumn festival and Labour Day. They make me excited but also a bit indecisive. What to do during the holidays is as difficult as choosing what to eat for lunch. They are all the most difficult questions in the world because we have too many choices. Last Labour Day, I went to Korea with my mother. We didn’t enjoy it as much as we enjoyed Japan and Europe several years ago. When you consider the time needed to get a visa, staying in Shanghai is starting to look like not too bad of a choice. Maybe I can hang out with friends, do some exercise, draw an illustration or just learn English at home. There will be plenty of things to do. Overall I’m always looking forward to the holiday.
