Today is Chinese Moon Festival .....above is a picture taken from my bedroom balcony.
Yesterday was my 51st birthday and does not seem like a year ago I was just arriving here, making friends and then going out with them for my 50th birthday. I has some lovely gifts from friends and students and some flowers via interflora from the UK.
Yesterday we went out for a meal to the Italian but did not call it my birthday meal it was just a meal out with friends which was very nice and lots of prosecco :-) . After the Italian we went to sit outside on the decking of a bar on the 55th floor of the Fraser Suites and the view was amazing and the evening warm and the margharitas very nice.
Becaise it is the moon festival we have today and tomorrow off making it into a long weekend so today I have...............
Bought a bike to explore Suzhou ans with safety in mind and to soothe the worries of people at home I have a helmet and twinkly lights and will be only going round SIP which is quieter than downtown.
Then Jake and I met Dan, Rebecca and Sophie and we went to the opening of Fullmoon a craft gallery, workshop, cafe which has been set up by expat artists and crafts people so I will be visiting there quite often.
Then a quick lunch in Casa Zoe and the rest of the afternoon spent in the apartment chilling , sorting though things I have not managed to do since getting back and hopefully clearing the decks of work so that I can do some of my own work for my City & Guilds course.
Tomorrow morning an explore on the bike and then some work. Looking forward to the exploring now I have wheels :-)
