It is -14 C in Beijing. Which is the coldest Ive ever experienced. Even with a ton of layers on your still cold.
It feels like a living thing that feeds of your warmth. You can feel the heat being dragged from your body through your thermals, through your trackies, through your jeans into its waiting jaws when coming up from a subway station. It bites at your face and pulls the breath out your lungs and freezes it to your face.
I've never been this cold.

Great 2 read your blog. When I am 60 I will be spitting in the streets 2! Loved your description of the cold - very poetic. Looking forward to reading more altho it makes life here seem rather mundane.

ReplyDeleteSounds really cold in China at the moment! Have been tracking your progress and see that you are off to the Great Wall about now. Have looked at so many fantastic photographs of this incredible constuction. It will look even better in the cold.
