Officially, springtime in Shanghai doesn’t begin until there are three consecutive days where the temperature is 20 Celsius or higher.

But since the sky is blue, the grass is green and tomorrow is a public holiday I hereby declare that Winter is dead!

Tadpole fishin\' at Jing-An park

Fishin’ for tadpoles in Jing-An park

I’m not sure what to do with the day off tomorrow. It’s the QingMing festival so I should really be sweeping the tombs of my ancestors, but that doesn’t like much fun.

Instead I’m thinking either

a) go drinking all day

b) fly a kite down at the Sci & Tech museum

c) drink whilst flying a kite.

Any other suggestions (now that those pesky kids have taken all the tadpoles) would be gratefully received.
