John Gordon’s English Weblog

Today is the third day of Christmas, so I guess my Christmas wishes aren’t all that late.

We spent Christmas in Beijing this year. Catherine and I were both hampered by canker sores, so we didn’t do much talking, but we had a great day. After sleeping in, she went to the dentist and I went to BTV to review the Olympic English episodes for the next two weeks. Then we went and got a Wii (more on that later), and got a late lunch/dinner of 粥 in Wudaokou before heading home.

Nothing terribly exciting (except for maybe the Wii), but it was great to have a day to relax together.

We just got back from a Meng Jinghui play starring Liu Xiaoye. It was a lot of fun, and made me want to find some sort of creative outlet.

The play was all in Chinese except for a more-eccentric-than-Ringo performance of “Yellow Submarine”, but I think will still enjoyed it.

I’m off to Shandong tomorrow for a business trip, but should return around dinner time. I like day trips.
