Sunny day in Chengdu...

Rare enough to be noted, yesterday we had a sunny day in Chengdu!

Usually, the fog and the pollution (but mostly fog), which are covering most of China's inner plains, hide the sun and sky.

Just as an indication; a part from that 1 week summer that we had in early september, the days where the sky was visible in Chengdu can be counted on the fingers (you will need your 2 hands...but only just!).

I am not complaining; just setting the backdrop for this article; what happens when this too rare sun shows up in Chengdu?

Just what happened in my high school when spring arrived; everybody forgets about work and goes to lounge in the sun...let 's take a walk around Chengdu on one of those sunny days...

Thursday afternoon grammar lesson; in the university park!

We DO study like hell, though...just not on the sunny days; there is plenty of rainy days to do so!!!

A little Taiqi lesson in the sun to keep fit and toned.

One of the river-side tea houses (which convert into bars at night); those outdoor sitting get really popular with UV-hungry people
(not that the chinese like to be tanned; it's just that after so many days without sunrays your skin needs it!)

The promenade under the willows gets really crowded with people walking, practising Taichi, playing music...

Reading...

Popcorn making...

Today, friday, the fog has settled in thicker and lower than usual.
I'm looking forward for the next "Sunny day in Chengdu"

Yours, the foggy pandas.
