No heat

One, I'm back from vacation in Qin Huang Dao. I was greeted by cold weather here in Yinchuan. It was seriously like 40 degrees yesterday. I'm wearing long underwear and as many layers as I can get under my jacket and jeans. I've got all the accessories going on as well. The big deal, there's no heat in any of the buildings in the whole country. The country controls the heat for everyone and it doesn't turn on until November 1. So...even though the weather gets colder outside as winter presses on, this is said to be the coldest time of year because there's no break from it. It's usually even colder inside because the sun can't shine in there! Brrrrr!!!!!!
