Vacation Blues

Four days off, and I don't know what to do with myself.
We've begun a daily yoga routine (and by daily I mean we've done it two out of four days, so that's a good start, right?), watched an entire season of The Walking Dead, caught up on the third season, watched half of season five of The Big Bang Theory and caught up on the sixth season, we've eaten way too much chocolate, and won third place at Lush's Pub Quiz.
Writing this I realize that most of what we've done has centered around television shows, but what can you do when Super Husband has a knack for getting sick when I'm on vacation? Every dang time, I tell ya.
Despite the rather sedentary start to our holiday we are planning to visit Harbin, or as I've heard it referred to "The Frigid North". Harbin boasts of an ice festival every year that isn't to be missed, or at least not if you're already in China, right? So we'll go over to the train station today and see if there are still tickets available.

And we have our tickets and hotels booked for an end of the school year trip to Bali!

Aaaand we're planning a post-Bali trip to Chengdu in Sichuan provence, and from there, to Tibet.
I spent a good hour this morning researching the different permits necessary to get to Tibet, and I'm pretty excited about it.
See parents, we're not focused on saving so much that we've forgotten where we are.

In more New Years-y news: The firework stands are popping up, and the evidence can be seen and heard around the city.
I love fireworks. Maybe not as much as my sister does, but enough that I'm prepared to lay down 120rmb on some really cool ones. Maybe go up on some tall apartment roof and set up a display that will awe and amazing the city. Or just awe and amaze me. Either way, 120 well spent.
