Wuhan Botanical Garden Thank God, I was so relieved after I heard that one of my classes was canceled this afternoon. I immediately thought 'wow, another off day from work, couldn't be better'. I hope you don't get an impression that I loathe my job or so, it just felt great if I could have some more 'private time or quality time' for myself I guess. Since the day before I was also off and literally locked myself at home to prepare an English test called IELTS, which will take place within weeks, so I thought I got to leave my room and breathe some fresh air. After thinking back and forth, finally I booked a ticket to the local botanical garden. I supposed that was the only place where I could get away from the hustle and bustle of the urban life, especially in my hometown, where is full of skyscrapers, reinforced concrete, noise and people. I was asking myself, since when having the opportunity to get close to nature is so precious and rare. Anyway, I drove to the garden on my own for about 30 minutes and quickly ran into the garden. I've really had enough of urban life, as a matter of fact, I wish I were a squirrel sometimes, so I don't have to live in the city anymore. It was a rather humid but also warm day, and the tourists were that much compared to usual. This was exactly what I was looking for, a place where I could let off some steam. I walked around the garden for twice with my headphones on my head listening to some inspiring TED talks, I know you might think this was a bit bizarre, but actually it was very thought-provoking. Listing to some wide men sharing their original ideas and thoughts in such a relaxing environment is fun. Alright, it's pretty late now, I'm going to take a hot shower and hopefully have a good sleep.
