National Day Holiday

October 1st is National Day in China. It is, I think, the equivalent of July 4th in the US.

And, for the academic schedule, it's the equivalent of fall break in the US. That means teachers and students everywhere hopped on trains and planes, went home, and relaxed for the week. However, unlike Thanksgiving break, people didn't stay home.

Many traveled.

I traveled too. I jumped onto the traveling train, dove into the "seas and mountains of people" - 人山人海 - and did my best to keep afloat. Was it worth it?

I think so.
Not everyone who went on the trip with me agrees...
You can decide for yourself.

  1. But where did you go? What did you see? This matters before I make a decision.
