National Day Golden Week

This is the very logical name for the week long holiday here in China is to celebrate the founding of the PRC in 1949. For a week most government employees and many other workers travel around China to visit families or do sightseeing before it gets too cold (up north). A billion people on the move. fun time to travel.

For me, still in the tropics, it is a week off.

I don't have many plans for the week, as I still have not received a full paycheque (Sept's had deductions and was only for 3 weeks). Mostly looking around Nanning, and reading, catching up on some CFL, visit the gym. I am also putting together some photo blogs of Nanning and Busan, though I may not have enough of either to make it worth doing (Busan = Nampo and Gwangalli). So I'll see what happens.

The campus, which has been bustling for the last two weeks, is effectively dead.

I think it is a good chance to go exploring though, see a bit of the new city. Unfortunately the subway line to the university will not be completed until December, so I am still reliant upon buses and taxi's. I've looked in to getting a drivers license for China (you need a Chinese one), but I doubt I'd buy a car here. Doesn't seem worth the hassle and money given that the subway will be ready in a few weeks.
