Another weekend comes, I expected it for the whole week but when it really arrives I don’t know what to do.
Urecca is on business trip to Tianjiang (may be Tangshan, even she herself doesn’t know!). She won’t be back till next Tursday.
I have a report to write, but I can make it tonight if I want.
I can hang on the bed till noon. I may do that if I can’t find interesting thing to do.
I can go call some boys out for a basketball match. This idea is cool, I may try it.
I can sit in the classroom and wirelessly access the internet. But if I don’t want to blog, I probably won’t go there.
I can stay in the cabinet watching another season fo Friends. But that’s just a thing I am supposing to do in the night.
And I can try to find a ticket to BJ on Oct.1st. I checked with the company’s receiption and it’s said the ticked office has sold out all the tickets. Yes, I plan to go back to Beijing to see my parents and my sister. I don’t say “pay a vist” because there’s my home.
OK, they are the things I can list for now.
Forget to remind you that tomorrow will be Autumnal Equinox (Chinese traditional solar term, 秋分). Autumn is officially arriving. I remember Urecca asked the other day if autumn a season that makes people in sentimental mood?

Hangzhou West Lake 2hr tour

Today is my first day of the short business trip to Zhejiang. I’m now in an apartment hotel in Ningbo blogging on the daytime I spent in Hangzhou today.
For a business trip, work is of course the first priority. But you can squeeze some time for yourseif if you can guarentee the work quality. That’s just what I did today at Hangzhou, which I think is. I arrived at Hangzhou station at 11pm and and my work is to acomapnying the client auditing our fieldwork before 4pm. I booked a 7pm train ticket to Ningbo for myself. So there will be 3 hrs interval left for me to pay a vist to the famous West Lake. Three hrs is not long enough for one to really appreciate the beauty of the lake, but long enough to slake my curious: why it’s so famous a lake?
After the work is done, I hop a taxi directly to the lake and spent 2 hrs there. I’ve to admit the lake worthy of the fame. Hangzhou people should be proud of it. West lake is embeded into the city and blends with the city. I mean the West Lake is not only for the tourist but more for the city. It’s open with no wall or fence, it’s free to vist and it has no obvious mark said it’s designed for ousiders like the Summer Palace. It’s more like a centre park.
Here are some photos I took:
LeiFeng Tower (雷锋塔), first glance of the lake. The original one falled in 1924 and the Hangzhou government spent 140,000,000rmb to re-erect it in 2001. But, I never know why the tower is called 雷锋. Does any one can tell me the reason?

The city and the lake blends well. Local people enjoy here.

Beautiful nightfall at the West Lake. BTW, do you see the “door”? It engraved “复旦光华”. It’s introduced to be in honor of Sun Yat-sen. I don’t know why it exactly is. But feel honored ’cause “复旦光华” is also the name of my muniversity.

Business trip to Zhejiang

Zhejiang is so close to Shanghai that I postpone the travel plan to see it from time to time. Have been living in Shanghai for almost 6 yrs, I even never went to Hangzhou. Is it incridible for a traveller?
OK, here comes a chance for me to have a look at the rich south province. I’ll pay a quick visit to Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo from Mon to Wed, one day one stop. I may have no time to deeply feel the cities but, at least, I can have an impression of the cities. Do you have any suggestion on where to go in any of the cities for a passerby like me?

It’s early fall- the season I love most. Since I have move back to be near the campus, conviently enough for me to have a walk in the campus after lunch. I am now in the teaching building of Fudan university uploading these snapshot in the campus. It’s lovely, don’t you think so? It’s now the finest season for visitors to Beijing. Remember that Chinese idiom – 秋高气爽-the clear and crisp days of fall.
