Eric's Beijing Diary

Well, folks, winter is here. They have hung the winter curtains over the outside doors. Winter in Beijing is mild--very little sub-zero weather. But the wind does come up now and then. Folks from the South talk about how cold it is, but it really is nothing like Harbin in the Northeast, which has more of a Minnesota type climate. Beijing's weather is a lot like Prescott Arizona--a little colder, perhaps, with even less snow. Beijing is very dry in the winter. Suits me fine. I like blue sky.
