A day in the life of.... A normal Monday in a Beijing housewife's life

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).

It's cold today so I decide to wear my ugly but warm fake Moncler coat. As you can see, it's a "Mocnler" :-)

Getting my bike in the garage of our building

My dad's birthday is coming up so I'm having a photo printed for his card

I continue to my Chinese language school (located on the 5th floor of a hotel/office building)

I don't have class today but need to sign up for HSK level 2 exam next month

The lady in red is Grettchin - the boss :-)

I also buy our level 3 book which we'll start using in class tomorrow

Next stop: Jinkelong supermarket

Quite happy they have started to stock the German milk we normally buy in the "western" supermarket "Jenny Lou"

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

It's packed at lunchtime!

But worth the wait!

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".
