So tomorrow its christmas! Wieeee... or ?
Well of course i miss my family but what to do about it ? Well my plan is to go for iceskating, and after that go with friends and have dinner :)
Not to bad, actual we have classes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, wierd.. but i think i will go and iceskate and do some fun instead of sitting in a cold classrom and repeating grammer...
Yeah now its cold here, about 10 degrees... but its okay i have a heater in my room. But moste of the student dont have that, so wierd that they rather save 80 kui (88 kr) and then live with like 14 degrees in the room....
But i really like the weather her, it might have rained for like 8 days in total since i arrived..
Its not happend so much here, i have more focused on the upcoming marahton. And now its only 10 days left =) I just so tired of running now that i want to run it today..
There are many parks here in Xiamen city, and big ones, i think this is Zhongshan Park (Zhongshan is a guy that have a street named for him in every major city in china, dont really remember the history.. my history memory in my brain isnt so big.. sorry Börje (my grandfathar..)).
We where taking some photos from that day, a nice day with coffee, cake and nice weather (as usual in the middle of the day).
中山公园
So my plan for the next month is to:
24-25 Dec : Have Chrismtas (almost sober.. one beer cant destroy anything ?)
31 Dec: Have New Year (totaly sober)
2 Jan: Run Marathon
11-13 Jan: Final exams
14 Jan: Fly to Lanzhuo
For the people that dont know so much about Qinghai Province (Where i think i will spend two weeks) :
Its the fourth biggest prvince in China, and the province capital (and also the biggest) city is Xining with about 1.2 million inhabitans (veryveryery small to be a province capital).
The most inhabitans are tibetans, and no special permits are needed (i think.. ). In western countries we say the tibetian plattform is the roof of the world, but actual Qinghai also is a part of that, so the correct name should be Tibetian-Qinghai...
Its not so touristed and not very exploated bu turist as Tibet, therefor its can be little harder to get around if you dont speak any mandarin.. (well see about that...)
I well see more then i arrive there, but the climate is colder, -20 to -15 i heard it can be during night, so i hope that i have not forgett how to stand cold climate...
The landscape is told to be same as tibet so thats the main reason i go there, and also for meeting tibetian culture :)
I will also hope that i would not have any problem about the altidue.. the average in province is abouve 3000 m over the ocean.
MARRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY
Thank you Maria for posting:), and all other that do that.
And i also wish everybody that looks for work and "exjob" that they find a intresting one AND get it!

Christmas coming closer, how do you notice ?
Well, you can notice that the decoartion in stores have a xmas tree and that the employees at mcdonalds and kfc (i only buy coffee and icecream there, and yes, some days here you still want a icecream so you can cool yourself down. But not today... brrrrrrr) wearing xmas hats..
But usual you can feel it more, like breath the atmosphere, here in chine i cant get that feeling. Maybye its just because they actual dont cellibrate Xmas as we so they just dont have it. And there are not any snow or tempuratire below zero.
We will have classes on 24th and 25th.. i guess i will miss those classes, would not feel good to sitt in a classroom when you usual will be with youre brother and sister and maybe standing on the yard with lots of snow throwing little sister in the snow.... Maybye i can find a small chinese and throw he/her instead in the ocean (its not so cold that they would die.... ) hahaha....
So whats happend last week ? Not much actual, study and eating and running... Looking forward to run the Marathon, its just 16 days left! My shape is okay, i think so at least. But realy tired of running!!
Yesterday when i was running though campus they where playing music on the street, its never quite in china.
I think nowdays i spend too much time at my computer, just checking where im going during Chinese New Year. For intrested i made a map where i suppose to go:
My Plan
If somebody that reads this have any tips please tell me ! In Thailand im looking for some cheap and noncrowded place close to Bangkok with NICE beach.
Well, im going back to charachterwriting....
I almost forgott, our univesity arranged a trip to Tulou, which is old round buildings. Quite nice, and some pictures i also have from there !

Chinese Wedding and Farewelll Kevin
Sunday i went to a city nearby called Putian. This because there where a chinese wedding there that I was invited to. The wedding started little later then expected (as usual in China), we first visited the brides room (she wasnt supposed to leave the room for the hole day except of when she went around to all guest for saying thank you and giving away small gifts) and after that waited for the food. And waited we did, and food we got, loads! You guys can see that it was shitloads, and i tried them all :) The main thing on this wedding where the huge dinner, but i heard that there would be more traditional things afterwards but we had to leave due the fact that many that i went with had to work the day after...
Wedding
Farewell Kevin dinner did we had Tuesday, this becuase his leaving for going home. And if you didnt knew it he is one of my classmates.. But he treated us with dinner and it was a great one. The food you just picked and they made it, i really did like the shrimps.. and you couldnt complain over that they wherent fresh, they where still alive when they fried them, NICE
Farewell Kevin dinner
BTW, You are right Johan, but its not containing so many words of love :)

Closer to Xmas
Christmas is getting closer, and I can say that it´s not easy to notice. No snow, no Christmassongs, nothing is red(except of the Chinese flag) and nobody talking about presents or the food...
I was sitting beside the lake at campus and drinking coffee and having a cake, just relaxing before the class would start. It was about 22 degrees and just that perfekt that we in sweden have the weather during the summer, but in the end of November..........
There where a competition at our University thes weekend, really amusing to watch. Different kind of sport activities like : 5000m,1500m,400,100 and so one. But the funnie thing was that it was all kinds of people that participated, all from very fit persons to fat people that running in jeans :)
It was really amusing to watch, and the chinese also thought that, so it was quite crowded. It seemed that sackjumping was the biggest event, close with some game where you where supposed to run 20m and then wait for the other competitor and then try to throw a ball and try to hit a waterbottle....
Strange but fun :)
Sunday I was spending the evening of watching a Kareoke competition when foriegners sang chinese songs and chinese where singing foriegner language. People where singing from swedish song (well, big big world.....) to opera. But the common thing for all chinese that where singing (except of emilia) where that it was love songs.....
So spending almost 3 hour of backstreetboys and alla other boyband you can imagine i was quite tired when going home and watching El Classico... (i know how it ended......)
unfortune i didnt bring my camera at the contest, but the final is this sunday so i might go there... If im craving to listning at moore love songs....
And i finaly made it to take some photos at our dining hall, but you guys should be aware of that this one is the less crowded we have at our university, and quees isnt existing! So in order to get some food you have to user youre elbow!
Photos is also from our picnic at the beachside with some friends
Competition,Cantine,Picnic and hotpot
