There was a myth i heard about the Chinese government before i got here, about their ability to alter the weather... obviously placing it in my mind as complete bullshit (Americans keep saying BS instead which angers me greatly). But it seems it holds some merit. According to "China daily" the rain we experienced last night was government induced. They supposedly shot rockets into the sky with chemicals to clear the pollution in time for national holiday, and you've gotta hand it to them the weathers been the best its been since arriving here!
The plan was to go to the bar and spend the day watching the parade on a TV with a beer. Reason being, as eloquently as the Chinese put it "not everyone is invited" we'd known there was no way to watch it properly in the square as that was reserved for government officials. But we'd thought/hoped to at least see some of it.
Lo and behold the street at the end of the hostel was blocked off as if the parade was going to go straight past, and the after the police dude confirmed it we set up shop with our beers and after an hour or so got to see a bunch of tanks ride through.
The pictures on 'boston.com' are far superior to anything i was in a position to take, so again just look there.
Welcome,
to yet another travel blog!
This is the second time I’ve wrote this intro thing. I wrote one trying way too hard to sound the way I wish I could write. The truth is though, since my GCSE’s I haven’t had to do any proper writing what-so-ever. I did all art A-level as well as an art degree and now work as a graphic designer.
Hopefully it turns out alright, I’m going to try to update as much as possible and if you need to email me privately I’ll be checking my mails every week or so, so just click the mail button above. If the writing becomes too painful then you can go straight to all the photo’s from the "Pictures" link at the top, as will all my videos.
Cheers to anyone who ends up reading this, although I’m sure it’ll become a spam paradise of abuse from friends and work colleagues..cya all in a year or so :D

Those silly Americans with their silly BS sayings :P! Saw some of the parade on tv too, not much to do when you dont work apart from the odd house chore and watching some trash on tv :(. Its official, I am a housewife! It did look amazing with all the soldiers in perfect line and perfectly white uniforms. Even the guests looked well regimented too sitting in perfectly straight lines. Not sure about the blue camouflage on the tanks though. The only use for them would be in the sea and thats kind of useless really!
