Well, winter is coming and it is getting colder...and colder...
Yeah, it is cold in China, it was also cold in Japan, but not the same. The school is the damnedest design too... it is an open U-shape design. All of the room doors face in to the the middle and all the hallways are open to the elements. I guess this would be great on those nice HOT days, but not in the winter.... The wind here can cut through you like a knife, and it does in this poorly designed school. Each classroom has a small heater, which can only be compared to the heaters at Motel 6, you know the ones under the windows. Except these are mounted towards the ceiling.
It is currently 9C or 48.2 F, and the heaters are only half on here. It's strange lecturing a class wearing a sweatshirt and the students are bundled up in scarves and coats. MESSED UP! I know I try to live in other countries, while inderstanding their culture, but I just can't do it here...
China NEEDS central heating, and that goes for the rest of Asia as well. Oh the joys of that good old concept of central heating, I feel warmer thinking about it now.... What I wouldn't give to be home in a nice, warm house....
Freezing....
