I don't know how accurate the website is that I'm using to look at the temperatures...but it's the only one I can find for Dianjun, Yichang. If it is accurate yesterday got to -5 degrees, today -1 degree. I don't know but it feels colder than that, I have a feeling like with the Yichang summer, how it was 35 degrees but felt like 45 degrees...Well I'm getting the feeling that the same thing happens back the other way with winter also...I have never felt so cold, even when I was in England and Ireland (mind you I wasn't actually there for the worst part of winter). Everything kind of feels numb...and winters only just started.
It was a really strange feeling for me tonight...Growing up in Australia and only ever experiencing Australian Christmases, this is my first taste of Christmas in winter (just like I've always seen on the movies lol)ironically it's in China...but...shopping downtown tonight had much atmosphere. Christmas music was blaring around the square, shops all decorated, COLD, people walking around in Santa hats :-)Much more than I thought I would see. Interesting feeling! So the two countries I've had Christmas in...Australia, smack bang in the middle of scorching hot summer and China where Christmas is not usually celebrated but is now starting to commercially show itself.
