Who could go without Vacation?

Dear Journal,
This week was the best week of my life....we:
  • Went to Hainan
  • Went to the beach
  • Went to the pool
  • Went to breakfast buffets
  • Went to Vietnamese dinner
  • Went to Hong Kong
  • Went site-seeing for first 2 days
  • Went to a movie called The Day the Earth Stood Still on the 3rd day 
  • Went to Shanghai/home
  • Went to club house to get Hanukkah presents that were mailed by my Bubbie and Zaydie
  • Got cool gifts from my family in Boston!!
Can you believe all 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 things happened in 1,2,4,5,6,7 days! It was so exciting when in happened but it felt so short that I couldn't take it all in; especially in Hong Kong because we were only there 2 and a half days. 

But anyways, my vacation was good. Do any of you have vacation during December? Last year we had 3 and a half weeks off but this year we only have 2 weeks off! But in the middle of January we have Chinese New Year vacation for a week.....that's when we came to Boston last year but don't think we will be coming at that time this year. So it's not that bad. 

I know it's past Christmas and Hanukkah, but Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Sincerely,

wo shui jiao le :(

Dear Journal,

I snuck away from bed at 9:00pm so I could write; I was soo tempted.

3 Things that happened in the past 3 minutes:

  • My dad came home from work (late, huh?)
  • I ran to my computer to write to you
  • My mom put me to bed (remember, theses aren't in order)

By the way, wo shui jiao le means I am sleeping in Chinese. Whoever guessed that, dingdingdingding!

So whats been happening in your side of town?

Email me at goldiejune2000@yahoo.com to send me info of your side of the world.

Love to stay and sleepily chat, but I've got to usher tomorrow at a winter concert for the Strings and Band and Choir, so let me sleep a little bit.

Oh, before I forget, my mother and I made a video and posted it on her facebook. We haven't posted our alternate ending though, so be on the look out!

Good night! Or evening! Or afternoon, I suppose.

ttyl= Talk To You Later
