J+35 Cosplay!

Yesterday, my father proudly showed me the wine he had made himself! As you can see on one of the pictures, which corresponds to the restaurant kitchen. Of course the "degustation" was an event!

There is a very very big trend amongst Chinese teenagers at the moment: it is called cosplay.
Never heard of it?? Yep... Pretty much like me before I settled down here!
Girls in school talk about it ALL the time!
Two days ago, a classmate described her outfit to me, I answered "it sounds beautiful, I really ought to try one"
The next day, I had a packet waiting for me on my desk in class "this is my cosplay outfit! Try it on and take some pictures!"
I must warn you, I am totally aware of how wrong it looks on me, but please believe me, it REALLY looks cool on Asian girls!!! However I haven't got any
pictures of them, so you will have to content yourself of my own photo...

This morning, I didn't go to school, because my parents were informed that I had to join a "foreign volunteer team to go and clean the mountain"
You are probably wondering what on earth this means!!!
In fact, we had to clime up the mountain, with plastic gloves and spades and pick up the litter.
This was organized by a local newspaper, a lot of photographers kept taking shots of us bending down, and "improving the environment"
