Evening folks. So we got confirmation today that we have TWO MONTHS of summer holidays!!! Oh yeah!! We have all of July and August off to travel and be merry. I am already counting down the days. Looks like we will try and see Beijing first up in early July (before Olympic chaos hits but whilst everything is nice and clean and pretty!) and then trek around from there.
On another positive note, we also received our resident visas today, so looks like we are here to stay! Speaking of which, I can now cancel our plane tickets that needed to be purchased at Melbourne airport for us to be able to leave the country...yet again, thanks to STA travel for throwing that curve ball at us!
And finally we have this Friday off work for Tomb Sweeping Festival. (I guess those three things now means we are out of luck for a while!) Across China people go home to their families and tend to the graves of family members. We are planning on spending a couple of nights in either Suzhou or Hangzhou. Suzhou is very near here, which makes us almost think we should make the most of having the time and go to Hangzhou - which we believed was closer but Mr Pan thinks would take about 3 hours on the train. Both are said to be beautiful, but considering Suzhou is a mere 15 minutes by bullet train...only time will tell. Time to do some internet research and find a hotel room!
