the expo has been done for almost 6 months now....but the china pavilion is still open daily. i have realized that i have been hibernating all winter long. i forget how much there is to do in this city...but the coldness has kept me inside and unmotivated. plus, i have been subbing at the international schools on my days off....so i havent had a lot of spare time. this weekend i decided to say no to subbing...i needed some sanity and i needed to catch up on sleep!
today erik and i and his friend susan met up and went to the china pavilion. we didnt think the lines would be long...boy were we wrong!
