Women's Day

International Women's day is always a big deal in China - you just say 3/8 and everyone knows what you are talking about. There seems to have been much more of a fuss made about Women's Day than usual this year, perhaps because it is very close to another, more troubling anniversary. (I am avoiding the Tib*tan area of town this week.) Most schools and communities will have some kind of activity and several stores and restaurants have deals for women or women's products. I forgot about going out to take advantage of drink specials until too late last night. Ah well, there is always next year!
