i think the cold weather in shanghai reminds me a lot of washington dc. and of course, when my east coast friends read this post, they'll be like "you're an idiot, dc is not even that cold." growing up in southern california, anything below 60 degrees is pretty cold. i mean, don't get me wrong, temperatures in the LA area can get below 50 or 40, but i'm just saying i get cold when it's under 60. anyhow.
the cold here is a lot like dc. its a humid kind of cold, meaning that there's always moisture in the air. and it sometimes gets really windy. you can walk around for awhile, and never warm up. it kinda sucks. the longer you walk, the colder you get. ive also started hunching b/c i put my head down when walking to avoid the wind or the rain. so that will probably shave off another few years of my life.
not much going on this weekend. bought some knockoff "jeff spicoli" vans today for 80 rmb. and finally surrendered to mcdonalds and had a fish fillet and 2 taro pies for dinner. and get this, mcdonalds even has a 24-hour delivery service! like pink dot, but its mcdonalds. or is it, mcpink dot.
