you're so fit! :udawoman: OK, you still have the suitcases, so it ain't that bad if you wanna buy some fragile souvenirs.
Depends on what you like, I guess. Nothing on your shopping list is on mine! I think my backpack in 2012 was about 8kg - not too bad as we mainly carried it between train stations and hotels, no more than 15-20 mins at each city. I was 48 then. I'll only be doing the backpack thing for Naples this time, and I think my bag will be even lighter as it's only for 2 nights. We'll leave the suitcases in Rome.
yea, we're foodies and connoisseurs, so we buy Advent groceries sometimes to share with our family on Christmas Eves! You know those stollen, brunsli, panettone, marzipan cookies and gingerbread men all add to the weight.
Another difference is we would enter luxury stores in Milan, Rome and Florence to look at stuffs, so having a backpack makes us look... :rotflmao: -
Ytd, the Chinese Embassy here announced that SIN-PEK and SIN-CTU direct flights are now open for booking. But Chengdu rail station is closed for a 4-year upgrading...so I cannot take the train to Chongqing.
My main concern is foreigners might be locked down suddenly while shopping in some mall. As soon as they discover 1 case, they will lock down the whole place to swab every shopper or diner. And if we want to take the HSR or intercity buses to another city from Beijing or Chengdu, do we need to download some Chinese health tracking app? They have some kind of 健康二维码.
I don't think I would want to visit China even after their 两会 in March 2023. I've a few cities in Northeast China like Changchun that I badly wish to cover (since 2019!) :frustrated: -

That is my main concern too. We lived through the SARS restrictions which were nowhere as bad as Covid has been, and I don't want a repeat.

Long weekend coming up! My girls are happy, but it makes very little difference to my husband and me as we are now freelancers.

For me, I still have a few things to finish up by end of next week before abandoning work for 2 weeks, and also need to check that I have everything I need for the vacation. I've already taken all the cool-weather clothing out and washed them (after 3+ years in storage), and will need to replace some items like medications. And a colleague has asked me to read through the draft of her Master's thesis over the weekend. -
Can master students do that?

Read thru only & comment should be fine. It’s always good to have a 2nd or 3rd opinion especially such an impt doc haha.
I dont know what to do over the long weekend. Past few days every day went out so tiring. -
Lol. I’ve read hundreds of thesis documents so far as a project supervisor. It’s easy to tell the difference between someone who just want to get the assignment over with, and someone who really CARES about the topic he/she is researching. And that’s what determines the grade.

Staying at home... read a novel, cleaning up the house or buy a boardgames and play with Zac.
