Happy Birthday China!!!! It's been 60 years since the peoples republic of china was founded. Soren and I decided since we had a free day we would go up Mountain Yuelu, which is on the other side of the water.

Does this make it wrong or just Scottish? I say the latter however saying fud to 60 11 years olds who don't have a clue what ur ta...

It's China!!!! seems to be a rather well used phrase here. I was informed that after Golden week (national holdiay) I would have to return to work on the 8th of October, so when booking my flights to Hong Kong, I had these dates in mind, sensible? I was told today that I actually do not have to return to work until the 10th (a saturday?) but meant I could have had 2 more days in Hong Kong, and also could have been there for Suzy's birthday none the less there is...
