An uneventful day

What is a normal, uneventful day like for us?

6:45: wake up. Our alarm plays Chinese music. We get ready, email, shower, etc. and then go to breakfast downstairs at 7:45
8:00: get to the office. We have 3-5 classes each day, each 35 minutes
11:35: go to lunch
1:00: back in the office
2:30-3:00: go home

Our evenings are free... walk to the market, go out to dinner, spend time with friends, etc.

What do we hear here in China?
Morning: horns, horns, horns. Lots of cars and trucks. Music from the courtyard. The streetsweeper plays the "Happy Birthday" song.
afternoon: Kids screaming, birds singing, horns, horns, horns.
evening: horns. Cars.
Late night: Oddly, almost all traffic stops. Bugs and frogs. I'm not sure where all of these frogs are hiding in the city.
