Days Off

Today is a national holiday in China, Tomb Sweeping Day.  It’s when the Chinese go to the graves or tombs of their ancestors and clean them out, to show respect for them.  So they clean out the tomb, put in fresh flowers, that sort of thing.

Since I’m not Chinese this has become Alcohol Swigging Day, to be followed by Partying Your Balls Off Night, culminating in Saturday Morning Hangover.
