Saturday and no hiking
June 25th, 2010
July 4 the adventure will take me to Shanghai and Suzhou for fun and work. It’s official. I just completed a week with three different Mandarin lessons, lots of time looking at electric bikes, a 4 hour bike adventure, a massage, a dental cleaning, productive work time, and lots of walking. Today there will be no hike for me. I will attend a Canada day celebration with friends late this afternoon as well as another massage this morning.
The Mandarin lessons challenge and frustrate me. I don’t know if I should take a lesson a day, two lessons a day, or cut it back. Being immersed in the culture helps tremendously. I wish there was a magic pill that I could take to instantly give me the knowledge.
