I am heading out tonight to Harbin, the capital city of ice and snow and all things miserably cold in the world. It is also coincidentally the capital of the Heilongjiang province, but that comes second.
I am nervous about the cold, but I have prepared well with many layers. There is a tiger park there, apparently if you pay money you can feed chickens, lambs, or even cows to the lions. We are currently planning on pooling some money to put a whole petting zoo of animals in there for the lions to chase around. Only in China.
The election was a point of interest. The students were going crazy all afternoon (your midnight) when the results were coming in favoring Obama. I've never seen people so excited about an election. More intriguing, though, was that the election was called for Obama by the Chinese media hours before CNN or anyone in America dared to call it. It was called suspiciously early, perhaps China got to vote in this election, too?
Oh snap time is here gotta run and get on the train!
