Gas trouble

Not much of interest has been goingon in Beibei over the past days. But yesterday there was a little something: for some reason there was no gas available at the stations. And this caused many of the buses and taxis to stop service. The funny past of it was that most of them were parked right next to where we live! We have a gas station next to our building complex, so the queues started forming late morning and by the evening the whole street was pretty much blocked.

Other than that, I've promised to play a part in a local primary school's Christmas play, for which we are now rehearsing with the kids and three other foreign students from my university. The story is based (loosely) on "The Little Match Girl", and I play a part of a school teacher. The funny thing about it is that we just found out yesterday that the venue for the play is not at the school, but at the square in the middle of the town. I even get to do a dance for the whole town, as it's in my part ;) A different kind of Christmas...
