Our visit to Xiamen, China

When I was younger my family visited China quite a few times during our long school break. I always liked China which some of my friends found odd – especially when the horror stories about fake eggs and gutter oil started to appear. But I think that China is just so much more than the scandals spun out of proportion by the media. It is a culture, history and food heaven which you have to experience at least once in your lifetime.

My rationale for doing so is that:

Turbofire: Week 4 and 5

Back to update on Turbofire during one of my million breaks from study. I currently have an assessment to last me through the Easter weekend. Yay me…..

 

So as you can see I missed updating on Week 4. I guess I put it off for a couple of reasons….

  1. I somehow sustained an injury to my knee and shoulders. Served me right for not stretching out before class and pivoting while I punch perhaps.
  2. I was really busy trying to catch up on study.
  3. I was feeling really unmotivated to blog about Turbofire as it didn’t seem like I was losing much weight.
  4. I skipped quite a few classes and felt really guilty.
