If you were required to transfer classes to weekends, how did you cope?
I'm particularly interested in how much notice you go from the Teaching Affairs Dept. |

Nobody I know had to make up the day since the holiday was Monday.
We just had a 3 day week-end. |

The egg is weird!
The weirdest is the chocolate covered one with beef inside. I mean, how did they take two wonderful foods and turn them into sludge? |

I accept the gifts of mooncakes with great grace and assure the giver that I will eat at leisure at home.
Beef inside chocolate - now that a new one! |

| Can't go wrong with some of those delicious inventions. As for 3 day "holidays"... heh... "you have to come in on your weekend to make up for those holidays..", "oh, thanks! sounds amazing!" |

Well the two approaches to Mid Autumn are:
1. Don't start the semester until after the holiday.
2. Ignore it by taking a long weekend.
The National Day holiday next month, should create some interesting class displacements and make-ups.
Newbes should have the Chinese holiday calendar displayed somewhere and anticipate class disruptions with late announcements being the norm.

I ate a few too many mooncakes on monday and just this morning dropped a deposit that sounded like a cinderblock hitting concrete after being thrown off a 50 story building.
Moral of the story, don't eat too many mooncakes. |

Haha! You need to eat more of the local food such as spicy noodles or hot pot to counter-act the cinderblock-like bowel movements. I have the problem of my morning dumps sounding like a panzer canon shot going off, seldomly they are solid  Maybe I need to eat more mooncake... |
