Winter in Shanghai

Although the temperatures are not too bad, you always feel very cold here because the heating systems are very poor. On Mon. in class some children had their coats and mitts on. I always wear my scarf with 2 layers of warm sweaters. In Harbin this was not the case. Harbin is a coal town and everywhere we went it was very warm and toasty indoors. I will write about Harbin as soon as I get the pictures from my friends. It was quite beautiful with the lights and sculptures.

On Mon. Jan. 28/08 it was very rainy and snowy all day. The temperature hovered around 0 degrees celsius so the powers that be were concerned about ice forming on the roads overnight. Thus roads were closed and schools were closed. So Tues. the 29th was a snow day with about an inch of snow. One of the other teachers took these pictures around our school yard.
