May Holiday

In honor of international labor day, the entire country of China will shut down from Monday - Friday, May 1-7.

Interestingly, Chinese workers only actually get three days off for the holiday. But they are required to take off the last two days of the week, and required to make up for those days by working on the Saturday and Sunday before the holiday week.

Try that in America...

For my holiday a classmate and I are traveling to northern Yunnan to visit the Tiger Leaping Gorge and a Tibetan town called Zhongdian. Stay tuned for pictures and stories.
