What is Helen up to?

So what do I do with my time? Besides doing some translation work, doing house chores, procrastinating on errands, reading news/blogs, watching videos from US or Asia on the internet... I am also working on a few things during the weekday:

- I meet with Carolina twice a week to exchange some Chinese for Spanish. 2 months later I'm only on Chapter 3 in Spanish and she's at least on Chapter 6 in Chinese. We meet at 10:30AM and afterward we go have lunch somewhere. I've invited Michelle to join us and we're gonna go try out reasonably priced set menu brunches/luncheons/afternoon tea places in Beijing. It's nice to have some girls time.

- I like to host a cooking session at our house once or twice a month. Another friend, Helen, comes over (and anyone else that is free during the daytime) and we try out new recipes or show-off a favorite dish or two. We're learning new things about cooking from each other (or from failures) and have a grand feast for dinner.

- I've been doing some Yoga at home once or twice a week. It gets easier after a while and I can see why people have said that yoga is addictive. Your body craves that stretching feeling after a day or two.
