My Heart Will Go On

I have been meaning to mention this in my blog for a while: In the Square, which is right next to Mirror Lake (and actually is a big circle), music is quite often played from hidden speakers. It is always calm and peaceful music, much like the music played in some airport lounges but a little less jazzy. About a week ago I noticed that the speakers were playing a really cheesy version of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On'. This would have been amusing enough on its own, but every time we have been to karaoke in China someone has sung this song, so I now associate it with comedy rather than the emotional moments shared by Leonardo Di'Caprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic. Still, Leo was my first celebrity crush, so he'll always have a special place in my heart!!!
Aside from that, I will finish this entry by mentioning what I did today - slightly more normal, perhaps, than talking about Celine Dion. I taught kindergarden this morning and, once again, they were super sweet. I really enjoyed teaching two- and three-year olds to clap, stretch and jump! This afternoon, I went to the gym, which was really good, and I also bought bus tickets for our trip next week to Hang Zhou. It is the October vacation for seven days from Saturday, so everyone in China has a holiday. We are taking this opportunity to do some travelling, which I am really looking forward to, even though it is going to be sooooo busy everywhere!
