Sunday... again

I have started to realise how short one month is. Two weekends in 北京 (Beijing) have passed and I only have two more.

Yesterday felt quite cool - I asked a couple of people what temperature it was and they said 27 degrees. I was ok in a t-shirt but there were times when I thought I might need something more. It also rained for most of the day. We have had rain but mostly for only a short time - an hour or so - with thunder and lightning. It was kind of nice to have a day full of drizzle. It also meant that the air cleaned up a little allowing you to see several kilometres - I noticed for the first time that there is some sort of mountain down the road from the uni.

On an unrelated note. I knew that the little supermarket on campus sold beer but I only just noticed that it sold Coopers. Yes, Australian Coopers. For about $2 a bottle (375ml). Is that actually slightly cheaper than in Australia? And no Fosters to be seen :)
