Following my last post about buying a winter coat, all of your comments about how cold it is in Harbin worked me up into a froth of panic about the cold. Thanks for that.

So last night I went to Decathlon (a cheap sporting goods megastore) and went absolutely gangbusters buying up their whole stock of winter gear. Now I’ve got two hats, two pairs of gloves, socks you could use as oven mitts, a flock of zip-up fleeces, a pair of fur lined boots, snow/water/wind/wolf-proof trousers and a ski mask.

Oh yeah- you read that right, A MOTHER FLIPPING SKI MASK!

Me, this morning

 

Come on then Harbin, show me what you’ve got.
