Today's weather: High = 8 Low = 5
Rain ... again
As the record overcast weather continues, more bleak news has come out in the form of the school holiday schedule from now until June. I really don't want to get into this, let's just say Saturday and Sunday work makeup days are now becoming the norm, rather than the exception.
With the write-off of essentially all 3 of the stat holiday mini-breaks (April, May, and June) it isn't looking possible to do any short China travel holidays during that time. Teachers are fuming mad at being robbed of this, but rather than join the bandwagon, might as well set the target for summer as the next big holiday.
In some ways, it isn't all that different from the November-December stretch when the winter holiday break was the target.
A few differences this time round. The weather will get warmer and sunnier at some point, although it doesn't feel like it. At some point it simply has to turn, and my guess is that winter and summer season will change like a switch. From one day the warm air conditioning will be on, then the next day, the cool air. Let's see how it plays out.
Another difference is that the summer break is much longer. However, things are wide open as to where I actually want to go for that break! That's a good problem to have.
