I cannot believe that it is already 2014! Where did 2013 go? I guess the saying is true: Time flies when you are having
I am going back to the USA soon, but I can’t my good friends in Nanjing. One of my favourite of 2013 in Nanjing was going boating in Xuanwu Lake Park with my friends. We usually did this during the summer months it’s warm, sunny and you don’t need to wear thick coats or long jeans like you do in the winter time. My friends and I would usually at Xuanwu Gate at 8:00 am on Sundays. We would often play for and then walk over to the bus station to take a bus to The Confucius Temple. When we got there, my favourite thing was the Chinese food, such as rice dumplings, smelly tofu and so on.
Even though I love summer, winter has so many fun things to do, too. I love most about winter time are the Christmas Trees in Xinjiekou. People the trees with many shiny lights and they were so beautiful and lovely. And I also got to meet a young man who up as Father Christmas around the trees. He was giving out presents or colourful boxes full of sweets.
Good bye, my Chinese friends. Happy Spring Festival!
