This post is about how I get my repaired lens back while I’m in Xinle. It’s also the first of December, the beginning of Advent.
Where I am from, Christmas is on the evening of December 24th. Today is December 1st. That’s not Christmas.
But for me it is, at least a little.
Iโm still hanging out at my friend’s place in Xinle when Haozi from Beijing rings me up and says:
โWhere are you at, weโre coming over!โ
You guessed right, theyโre coming to bring me backโฆ
โฆmy oneโฆ
โฆand onlyโฆ
โฆpricelessโฆ
โฆbelovedโฆ
โฆwide-angle lens!
But they didnโt stop there. They got me some candy, too.
This is a LOT of candy. I canโt possibly carry all that stuff in my backpack. What to do, what to do…
I guess Iโll have to stay in for today and do some candy-devouring!
By the way, there are a few things I have learned over the last two or three weeks:
- I have slowed down the pace, and walking has become more fun now.
- I am rich โ rich in candy, rich in friends, rich in beautiful things to see.
Iโll hang out today, on this 1st of December, on my own personal little Christmas day, and then I’ll try to leave town tomorrow.
The mountains are coming, and they are getting closer and closer.

Von chinesischen Süssigkeiten kommt bestimmt ein super Abwind..und nur wer den Hafen kennt, dem ist der Abwind günstig!
kati

Christoph
Uncle: Gut gefurzt ist halb geschissen.

You are a happy and rich guy!You own so much things!
So and I!
By the way,maybe we are in the different time area.When I gave my comments at evening after 12o'clock ,the web show us 9am.I don't know why.
Today is a sunny day in Kanton!
Rindy
so happy to hear that!
Christoph
Ananda_Gua: Living in sunny Kanton means being rich in sunlight and vitamin D – do you leave your room every once in a while?
The thing with the time zone is because the server this site is on is in the states. By the way, does the site work alright for you? There are some errors, I know, but can you read the posts and look at the pictures alright?
Rindy: I enjoy being able to share this with my friends! ๐
