Today started way before daybreak for Grace and I. We really had not much of possession to shift from one corner of Beijing to another, but we filled up a small van to the brim. As someone vacated their home for us today, we vacated our home for someone else as well. Our Wangjing apartment is now rented to two University students from Korea doing their final years at Qinghua University. Nice, decent looking young men.
Our new home is adjacent to the 4th Ring Road East, with a direct subway line just 5 mins walk. 6-7 stops and we are in the busiest section of Beijing and TianAnMen Square.
We managed to stacked most things away by 430pm, and on to a weekend play school that Grace register Kristine and Kimberley. Today they held a big birthday party for all kids born in August. It is very obvious that Kimberley is very timid and shy at this party. She was very excited when we arrived, teasing the teachers and ran around nonstop, but once the party started and all kids were cajoled to scream 'yes' to each question, Kimberley went into hiding, refusing to even get on stage to receive her gift.
Grace has booked us for a tour of the new National Museum tomrrow. Entrance is free but one must book in advance on internet to gain entry. Hope we all get a good night sleep.
Kristine starts her china school education from Monday. Her school bus leaves at 645am....... Kimberley should also start her kinder on Monday but we honestly have not got around to that yet.
