First, let me make a statement: no offense to the policy released last year about the cut down of the three golden weeks into two, just give a review and provide some fact about my experience in the first Qiming holiday. We always will be embarrassed about the "FIRST" things, though these "Firsts" may always leads to a new era or a new lifestyle we may be happy with in the future.
April 3rd, not released about the holiday. So went to Starr and went to dorm without taking all my books when planned to have dinner. The result is, when I got back to the eighth floor, the door shut up...my books left in the library, what I saw is only a notice on the shut door:
Plan for Qingming Holiday
April 3rd: 8:00 am- 4:30 pm
April 4th- 6th: Closed
Fine...then returned back to the dorm and leave the dorm until April the 4th, during that period, I was drive mad by the log returns and Betas....
April 4th, at dorm. Joyo called that the books arrived...I was astonished as I told him to send only on weekends, but actully it is the first day of the short-term holiday is that right? Luckily, Mum is at home and could help me to receive and pay for the books, or I may have to wait for months and will mostly be blamed...Sorry, I just don't get used to the holiday...
When got back home, I was informed that my family would pay our repect to our ancestors the next morning-April 5th, I was shocked since I anticipated there would be traffice jams on the way, which may make the journey much tougher. To avoid the peak time, we planned to set our at5:30am... Ok, my alarm clock this time worked, made my father and myself got up at 4 am...We arrived at the terminals at 7:30am, there were already lots of people there but when we got out of the park at about 9 am, we just walked the way absolutely conversed to big crowds, bit hard for us to get out...
April 6th, cloudy and rainy, need sleep~
April 7th, have to go to Starr to get back my books without them nothing I can do...
Despite the above experience, I think I will be accustommed to the short-term holiday coming over. I think, golden weeks make us tired during the week and after also, while short-term ones just make you feel you have ordinary weekends with time you could finish what you want to.
Qingmin is a very important festival in China, people during that time will be very miss their parents who was dead.
