Snow

It snowed in Nanjing.
It snowed because it is cold.

How cold? Zero degrees celcius.

In the great words of Pastor Billsbury "Cold as a witches tit!"

When I turn on the AC, it never stops running. But that's because Chinese windows are single pane, and the wonders of insulation never really caught on here. There's this modern caveman thing where all the walls are made of concrete.


When I turn on the television, even the newscaster in the TV station looks cold. Hehe, I just said that after the witches tit comment. I'm going to hell where it will be warmer.

Concrete walls: If you ever visit China, don't touch the walls. Half the time that's only a base coat, and when you lift your hand, it will be covered in white. And of course, never lean all over a wall and rub your butt on it like I did. You'll come out looking like the Pillsbury Doughboy.

WARM!: In China, AC isn't used much. "Put on a sweater" is how most people deal with the cold.
Well, I'll have you know that I wear thermal pajamas, a sweater, a sweat shirt, and a coat (and a Tshirt beneath to absorb any sweat). I wear so much that if I put on any more clothes, it will damage or distort the fabric.

Aparently it snowed EVERYWHERE in China at once. I've got reports from friends in Shanghai, Changsha, and of course I complete the triangle in Nanjing. That is a BIG triangle.

To answer everybody's question. Nope... I do not really like the snow.
I loved it as a kid and even went snow boarding once.. But that was the USA.
