New Years eve plus hiking

January 6th, 2011

New Years eve started out like any other day. I spent time reading and knocking out some computer work at a local Starbucks.  I finalized my evening plans around 4:30 in the afternoon. I enjoyed some pizza and salad with a friend and her two children before heading out to the art district know as 798 for a party with 2,000 of my friends.  We danced for a few hours, yelled happy new year and then safely went home.

Saturday January 1, 2011 fell on a Saturday so our hiking was pushed to Sunday, the second.  We started the hiking with a visit to the Jetai Temple for some reason related to the new year… I think. We then visited a familiar hiking place for a short (less than two hours) hike up and down a fairly steep mountain.

My very own hiking pass!!!!!!!!

One of the most exciting events of 2011 for me involves my new park pass. I really am local now that I have my very own pass. Last year I paid 40rmb or 50 rmb many times to get into parks for hiking.  Now, with my very own id I am free to go as I please without paying any more money.  This pleases me.  This is one more reason I am having such a great time here.
