Golden Week - National Day

from 3 minutes in Shanghai · host Tee Lek D. Ying

October 1st was Chinese National Day. I went to Tianjin to visit some friends, although that's a poor excuse for not recording a show in almost three weeks.China has two 'Golden Weeks' a year - one beginning October 1st, and another beginning May 1st. Everyone gets a week without work. What's the deal with that? Some more info in today's show.Thanks, everyone, for listening. There's almost 500 of you out there now, if my FeedBurner stats are correct, and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.I'd love to answer some general Shanghai questions in future episodes, so send 'em if you've got 'em to [email protected] next time...tek.P.S. Apologies for my cruddy math in the last episode. Somehow, I added 4 to 4 to 2 and came up with 12. Didn't notice that until well after it was posted. Heh. Maybe I should spend more time editing.
