So winter descended, along with another COVID outbreak
and wished us all a merry christmas.
Thank you , Universe.
Yellow stickers on my card to denote my ID City residency
so I can get in
should I go out
in -14deg C
Seems rather deflating to be in China
and barriers( metaphorically speaking) surround me
so my dreams of The Silk Road
and the Gobi Desert
have been decimated.
And they tell us that we should not look to having the next two holiday breaks outside of Beijing.
Merry Christmas and looks like the Happy New Year is a fallacy.( I wanted to write Phallusy)
But
to spend Christmas under the Great Wall was exciting
but I castigate myself as my knowledge of CHinese history is woeful
I know a little
enough to cause danger!
Now is my time
in my restrictions
to develop an understanding of the amazing geology of CHina, especially in that area as it seems that the mountains we see, the sedimentary mountains , were somehow laid down over a billion years ago over the top of volcanic areas., and then lifted. Isn't the Earth marvellous ?
OK
More, you say?
I have only been here a couple of months and getting used to the lack of English and the changing culture has caused me many moments of pause!
I do not know yet
it is early days
I'll be in touch! After I emerge from the freezer.
