Claire

Gina's schoolmate from Beijing was here for a week. See how happy they are to have been reunited:



Claire is studying to be a beautician, hence her lovely fingernails:



Today is Gina's first (of three) birthdays. She was born on the 29th day of the 10th lunar month (in 1980). At some point, this was translated into English as October 29 (today!!). In fact, using the solar calendar, she was born on December 6. And, this year, her birthday using the lunar calendar is November 30. Since Gina loves eating gastropods, we went to Leon de Bruxelles (a restaurant chain that specializes in mussels):



Next, we walked up the Eiffel Tower, which Gina has been wanting to do for quite a while.



I wonder if there's somebody who can tell the day of the year and the time of the day by that shadow...
