Sometimes the nightsky in Beijing is red. Dull, post-apocaplyptic red. It's really rather unsettling.
Also, it's so cold here that in preparation for the vanilla ice cream i plan on making tomorrow, I put a banana outside to freeze. Outside. To freeze.
Sigh. What else is going on in this Great Big Communist Capitalist Capital?
A lot of interesting things. Spring Festival is coming (Chinese New Year, that is), and the police came by yesterday to tell us to make sure and lock up because it's the largest theivery holiday in China. Also, little stickers warning not to let off firecrackers in the hutong went up a few days ago. I'm still spending every other day ensconced in CCTV headquarters, watching all kinds of super fantastic preparations and rehearsals for Spring Festival Extravanganza (SFE), watching, that is, through the omnipresent haze of cigarette smoke. Gross.
I'm going to go curl up in bed. Sorry this is so short and lacking in real content, but i'm exhausted.
