October 1 is China's National Day, popularly known as 'Shi Yi - 10/1'. This year it falls on a Wednesday, which begins the first of 3 official holidays for the ocassion. To stretch the holidays even longer, the govt has gazetted this Saturday and Sunday as 'work' days, pushing the weekends to Monday and Tuesday. Kristine and Kimberley will attend school and kinder this Saturday and Sunday, then enjoy a break of 7 days starting from the evening of this Sunday. It will be a 7-day work week for all this week. I see no problem from Kimberley, but I suspect Kristine will be very tired on Saturday morning.
Apparently Beijing will be crowded again next week, with more out-of-towners congregating in Beijing than Beijingers travelling out. We are staying put in Beijing, possibly organizing a visit to the Great Wall. Instead, I have booked my flight for Oct 3 to chase some snappers in Melbourne.
