Harbin is Cold

The piano was functional. Electronic, but otherwise like a regular piano.

Did I mention that Harbin is really really cold? Tenth largest city, but probably the coldest. I just noticed today on the map that Harbin is actually north of Vladivostok, waaaay north. Wei's mom has us dressed up like the Michelin man, or Mĭ-cί-lίn (Mee-chee'-leen') as they say here, but we're still freezing. Actually I feel more like Ralphie's little brother in that movie "A Christmas Story," unable to move my arms and legs except in whole body rotational motions... At least the cold makes for some good ice sculptures. And any coffee tastes great, though it was pretty good regardless.

Cute little foam hearts in the capp. All the usual touches.

The Venus de Milo

Making Monsieur Rodin proud.
