There is a saying that holidays make happy people happier and lonely people more lonely. And I totally agree with that. Several days before I was expecting the long breake during the National Holiday. Now it is coming, but I do not feel any excitement about it.

 

I tried to ask some friends to hang out and they wanted me to make the decision. With dazzeling lights and eye-catching buildings, we always think here is a place filled with fun. Foreigners fly here to the Great Wall. People from other provinces traveled here to the Bird Nest. However, as a person who has been here for more than 20 years, suddenly I find how empty and quiet Beijing is. I really do not know where to go and where to find those so-called funs. Some friends suggested me go somewhere out of Beijing even abroad. I said no cause I think it will take too long and probably make me exhausted. Then I pondered, whether the problem is that I have no idea about how to spend the holiday or I just don't want it...Now I already miss the hectic days of working and studying. At least I know what to do and need not to think about how to kill the time over and over again.

 

We often say that holiday offers a chance for people to get together. But how about the the people who can not find someone to get together. Will you still regard holiday as a gift or punishment? Loneliness is a bunch of people's carnival, carnival is a bunch of people's loneliness.
