So it's a new kind of freezing here. It's unbelievably China cold. It's freeze your face off, punch you in the gut cold. It all makes sense that there are ice sculptures all around the city (see left), because it's just so cold that they sure aren't going anywhere. But everyone says it's going to do nothing but get warmer now! And the high is a tropical 28 degrees. So we're on the up and up. And as Jaclyn said, we had the easiest traveling experience ever. It was just fantastically simple. And now we've been thrust into the fabulous world of learning to teach TESOL.And everything here is just so amazingly "China."
This picture of Jaclyn and I has us in front of an Iwo-Jima-esque monument here in Harbin celebrating their defeat of the floodwaters that used to flood the city. "Yes! We built flood control walls and have conquered mother nature herself!"We've got to go to school now! Down the eight flights of stairs and through the bitter cold, that is. Yeehaw!

Steve - I hope you have traded in those sandals for some real shoes! ;)
I had a client who is originally from Shanghai last week ... I told her & her husband that my brother & sister-in-law were moving to Harbin that day. They were like, yeah, Harbin, THAT'S WHERE IT'S COLD. :) <3kathryn.
I can't get over how clear the sky is. Are you sure you guys are in China?
