I’m finding it very difficult to get back into the swing of things and my Chinese is notably worse than it was before. I spent Chinese New Year from the end of January to mid February travelling around &#8230; <a href="http://www.universityobserver.ie/student-voices/postcards-blogs/postcards-from-abroad-south-east-asia/">Continued</a>]]></description>

Normally in Ireland I&#8217;m incapable of ever taking these seriously and always tell myself that if I do badly it doesn&#8217;t matter, I can always pull it back &#8230; <a href="http://www.universityobserver.ie/student-voices/postcards-blogs/postcards-from-abroad-beijing-5/">Continued</a>]]></description>

It’s pretty much only the mid-autumn festival and Chinese New Year that they get time off for.
