Day before...

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

    Hoppas det går bra med ditt maratonlopp den 2:a januari!!Och att dina prov går bra!!!Det låter som att du ska iväg på en riktigt spännande resa, och det är ju kul att du passar på att fara runt och se på så mycket som möjligt, när du ändå är där, och det är roligt att se alla bilder som du tar.
    Här hemma så har det snart snöat i typ en vecka-så nu är det RIKTIGT VITT här.
