Happy birthday,
waywardchilde!
Although it's one day's late...
Anyway, I'm back. After a 21 hour's ride damn it. Well to be fair, once my friend has told me about her travel home. 39 hours from Dalian to Shanghai by water, 20 hours or more from Shanghai to somewhere-I-can't-remember by train, then to another somewhere by coach, the latter somewhere to home by horse-drawn carriage... I'm lucky, really.
I spent two thirds of my vocation in Ha'erbin, one third at home. And the whole family in my mother's side went to Fuyuan for 3 days! It's a tiny town in the fastest east of China, on the borders of China and Russia, faces Khabarovsk. Lots of fresh sashimis, cool air (it's summer!), and... more sashimis! (grinning)
Now I've finished my TOEIC exam, I can go back online... sorta. Because, have to write a 3000 words paper before September 1st. Seems a mission impossible, who knows...
