Zhu ni shengri gaoxing

Thats "happy birthday to you" in Chinese... As a result of a great birthday here in Beijing I am now suffering (again!). I have to go to class soon so this won't be a long post but maybe I can just slot in a few photos.

Lei laoshi, my awesome teacher at Frontiers Mandarin School.

The temples in Lishan park, behind the Forbidden City

The view back over the Forbidden City

Chang 'An Jie, the main street in Beijing with its huge bicycle lane. Heading towards Tian'anmen square.

Two of the people responsible for my current hangover, Anna and Fiona from Ireland at the Temple of Heaven yesterday.

The lowering of the flag ceremony in Tian'anmen last night.

Anna, Fi, Andy, Alex, Me and Kiko (the chinese girl who lured us to the rock concert last week) celebrating my birthday in a hotpot restaurant last night.


Alex showing us all just how good Bai Jiu (Chinese rice spirit) really tastes...

Happy Birthday Timmy! Hope you got my sms yesterday - if not, I was thinking of you lots and lots! From the sounds of things you celebrated in style; would expect nothing less! Where can I send an email to? Perhaps email me (emma.mary_wright@yahoo.com) and I'll get back to you. Sorry haven't been in touch; will explain all in email hence plea for an address! Lots love Smurf xox
