It's Saturday today, but I don't go hiking as usual, because we only have one day off this weekend.

There is something called Tiaoxiu调休 in China, which means we need to return some days to the company for extra holidays. A little weird, right? I hope you don't have this type of thing. Tomorrow is a tiaoxiu for a five-day national holiday next week.

So I decided to have a relaxing day today. I have done my laundry and pruned my roses. I'm waiting for a package of accessories I bought two days ago for my new action camera. Then, I will try out my camera along the river near my apartment.

I'm going to add some subtitles to one of my hike videos this evening. It's about the view from the foot of Mount Lu to the top. You can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r8FkUhOoQU

If you have any advice, feel free to let me know.

Have a nice weekend.


今天星期六,但我没有像往常一样去徒步,因为这个周末只有一天假。

中国有一种叫调休的东西,这意味着我们需要把额外的假期回到公司。有点奇怪,对吧?我希望你没有这种东西。明天是下周五天假的调修日。

所以我决定今天放松一下,洗了衣服,修剪了玫瑰。我在等我两天前买的新运动相机的附件。然后,我将沿着我公寓附近的河边试试我的相机。

今晚我要给我的一个徒步视频加一些字幕。它是关于从庐山脚下到山顶的景色。你可以在这里观看https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r8FkUhOoQU

若有什么建议,请随时告诉我。

周末愉快。

When I used to manage a team of employees in China (I was in the US at the time, but they were in China), I found this 调休 scheme very annoying. I would always encourage them to take annual leave during the 调休 days. I remember when the Chinese government started doing this and understand the reason (to encourage people to go out and spend more money during these lengthened holidays, thereby boosting the economy), but I think they’ve taken it too far.

A little weird, right?

Subtitles represent dialog or spoken words that are heard in a video. There’s very little dialog in your video, so I assume you mean captions (explanatory text that supplements or describes the video). I enjoyed watching your video. I wish I could better discern the snatches of speech that could be heard here & there in the background—actually, I would appreciate Chinese subtitles for that. :-)) About 45 seconds into the video I think someone says “蹲下!” Then I heard what sounded like a recorded announcement telling people what to do, and not to do, at a swimming pool? Near the end it sounded like someone was talking about (or to?) a six-year-old child. :-)
