About My National Day Holiday

Two weeks ago, I planned to write an entry daily during my holiday in Quanzhou.

However, I was too busy and tired to do that.

Quanzhou is such a wonderful city that I had to spend more time exploring it every day. We even got up earlier than our workday and went back to the hotel very late.

I'll try to share some pictures and videos with you in the coming week.


两周前,我计划在泉州度假期间每天写一篇日志。
可惜实在太忙太累了,根本无暇去做那件事。
泉州太美妙了,以至于我每天都不得不花更多的时间去探索。我们比工作日更早起床,还很晚才回到酒店。
接下来的一周我会试着与你分享一些图片和视频。

Thank you so much!

I meant that I wanted to write a post once a day, but I didn't have enough time to do it.

Quanzhou is such a wonderful city that I had to spend more time exploring it every day than expect.

“More” is a relative comparison word and needs something else to compare to. “More than planned”, “more than I wanted” etc.

We even got up earlier than our workdaynormal and wengot back to the hotel very late.

Original wasn’t wrong but this sounds much more natural to me

About My National Day Holiday

Two weeks ago, I planned to write an entry daily (or: every day) during my holiday in Quanzhou.

“Daily” feels unnatural to me, but it’s probably idiomatic to some native English speakers.

However, I was too busy and tired to do that.

Quanzhou is such a wonderful city that I (just) had to spend more time exploring it every day.

Adding “just” changes the tone, clarifying that you wanted to spend this time (you weren’t “forced” to do so).

Suggestion:
Quanzhou is such a wonderful city that I couldn’t help but continue exploring it day after day.

We (even) got up (even) earlier than ourwe would have on a work day and {went back | got back | returned} to the hotel very late.

I'll try to share some pictures and videos with you in the coming week.

I’m glad you had a good time. Looking forward to seeing the pictures & videos. :-)
