What does a Beijing housewife's normal Monday look like? Let me show you some pictures from the errands I had to run today (up until the kids came back from school).
Picture
It's cold today so I decide to wear my ugly but warm fake Moncler coat. As you can see, it's a "Mocnler" :-)
Picture
Getting my bike in the garage of our building
Picture
My dad's birthday is coming up so I'm having a photo printed for his card
Picture
I continue to my Chinese language school (located on the 5th floor of a hotel/office building)
Picture
I don't have class today but need to sign up for HSK level 2 exam next month
Picture
The lady in red is Grettchin - the boss :-)
Picture
I also buy our level 3 book which we'll start using in class tomorrow
Picture
Next stop: Jinkelong supermarket
Picture
Picture
Quite happy they have started to stock the German milk we normally buy in the "western" supermarket "Jenny Lou"
Picture
I'm freezing by now so I decide to go for some dumplings at my favourite little cantonese place very close to where we live
Picture
It's packed at lunchtime!
Picture
But worth the wait!
Picture
The kids will be back soon and Rebecca and I have plans together this afternoon but I just have a little time to myself. Just enough to catch up on the amazing Danish series "Arvingerne".
