| Yesterday I went to famous Beijing Olympics Bird's Nest, but I went to watch the Paraolympics, which was just awesome; being there is already awesome, a really overwhelming feeling when you're in the staudium, with hundreds of people cheering, and competitions going on. It's something I'll probably won't do again, to go to Olympics, so it was a great opportunity. Olympic village was beautiful as well! It's impressive how beautiful everything is, and despite I couldn't enter to Water Cube, I could see it from outside; at night is amazing. Anyways, I thought I wasn't consumer... but I was wroooong. I think everyone has a consumer part somewhere... Well, inside the Olympic Village there was this supermarket of Olympics things... and I couldn't help but buy some useless things ;; Like this... And this... Or this... Okay, this wasn't useless!! I needed one ._.; And... this for one of my brothers... This too... Anyways, today it's holiday, for the Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, today in China~ The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar (usually around mid- or late-September in the Gregorian calendar), a date that parallels the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar.
The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year), and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as: Eating moon cakes outside under the moon Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e (simplified Chinese: 嫦娥; traditional Chinese: 嫦娥; pinyin: cháng'é) Planting Mid-Autumn trees Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members Fire Dragon DancesSooo... awesome! This is a mooncake~ (sorry for the pic, it's awful XDDD) Some of them are yummy, others not soo much, but there are a lot of varities of flavors~ That's all for today, luffs for my f-list <3333 | |

| Goooooood...
Using this proxy it\'s way too slow... ==; But at least now I know that a few ones allow me to log in; I was literally dying without LJ! Anyways, I can\'t edit this entry and make it nice, but I can write, that\'s good enough for now.
Well, I\'m in Beijing already. I arrived on... August 27, 22:15 PM, local time. So... I\'ve been here like 9 days, and despite the first day, when I arrived to the dorms, the first thought I had was \'I wanna go home!\' right now, I\'m feeling quite content and satisfied :DDD
You can\'t blame me for that first thought, though; I had to take a taxi by my own and hope for it to get me to Beiyu, besides, the guy made me pay more, but whatever ==;;, and no just that, but when I got to the campus, everything was closed, it was very dark, hot, I was definitely lost, and the security guards didn\'t help me at all. Oh, and the WC... But now I\'m fine, I\'m getting used to all of this, and I can say that having internet and having a friend from my country was the only thing I needed to be able to go through this year away from home.
I would like to post some photos, but right now, this proxy won\'t let me. I have pics on facebook, though, and videos XD;
Well, this post was to let know, the people who cares for me, that I\'m completely fine, that I miss my f-list too much, and Beijing is awesome! I just bought volume 14 and 15 of tenipuri (in chinese, though, but who cares ==;; ) and I\'m very happy for it!
Oh, and of course I can\'t forget to thanks my best friend: Shuu, thanks for letting my friends know I was fine, you know I adore you, and please, send me mails, baka ==;; :****
That\'s it for today. I hope to come back soon, to write more. And thanks for all the comments ;DDD I love you guys <333333333
...After almost one hour, I managed to edit this. I just noticed that every time I try to log, it\'s more and more difficult to do it, so perhaps I won\'t be able to write as much as I want to. Oh, and I edited this because I want to say: I miss roleplaying tenipuri, and to thanks Nakuru-san, for the proxy list and Nabi-san, for the previous one too <3333 | |
