It really does feel like it's a major holiday here in Beijing. There are lights and pretty shiny things everywhere, even on the highways. The residents are also feeling the holiday spirit. Most have 8/8 (opening ceremony) off and some even have half of 8/7 off. Shops are closed on 8/8 and families are stocking up on food as we speak. The supermarkets are packed with shoppers. You know what I want for this August Christmas in Beijing? Rain! Please rain. Seriously. Any day now.
