Just so you know, I have finally moved over to a new web host. This probably won’t affect you - although hopefully the site will run a bit quicker now. Most of the changes and improvements are all behind the scenes. If you do notice any problems with the new site please leave a comment!
If you want to know a bit more about the changes and find out why I made the move, head over to a more detailed post on my other blog.
There is a national holiday this Friday - which means no classes for all of us at 首师大 (Capital Normal).
Whilst I have no definite plans as of yet, me and Siqi fancy heading out to a ‘Drum & Bass’ night at 白兔子 (White Rabbit) in one of Beijing’s bar districts to let some steam off. Friday will definitely involve a lie-in and a big Chinese fry-up. If we feel up to it and the weather is good (which it hasn’t been these last few days) we may head to 香山 (The Fragrant Mountain) to stretch our legs.
As for the rest of the weekend… everything remains to be seen. Hopefully I can catch up with some fellow Capital Normal students and maybe have some people round here for dinner. I also fancy picking up my chinese copy of Harry Potter 3 again - it’s been a bit neglected over the last couple of weeks (much to my frustration) as I have been too busy with other things.
As for my small eBay business (I’ve been selling lots of clothes to the UK and other parts of the world to make some pocket money) - I sold my last Abercrombie + Fitch Hoody today and am now going to try and sell some t-shirts as the weather steadily gets warmer. Have to see how things go…
No more updates for now, maybe some photos to follow soon.
As you will all have noticed, this blog (and my other blogs) have undergone a heavy dose of redesign. Today, I upgraded my blogging platform to Wordpress 2.5 and decided that as some changes to my old theme would be necessary anyway, I might as well chuck the whole thing out the window and start off afresh. The old theme was cluttered, unattractive and not very easy to read.
The new theme I have chosen is based on a popular Wordpress theme called ‘Simpla’ but with lots of my own modifications. I have opted for a clean template with easy navigation despite the tendency these days to choose something colourful and flashy - after all, it’s the content on a blog that matters!
I have also enabled ‘Gravatars’ - when you leave a comment, you can also have your ‘avatar’ displayed alongside it. To get your ‘gravatar’, please go to http://www.gravatar.com and sign up.
If you notice any bugs, please do let me know. I would also like to know what you think of the new design so please leave some comments 
Thanks - I’ll try and put some ‘interesting’ posts on here soon!
