Last week I posted an entry decrying how cold it was in Beijing just at the moment, and how the heat wouldn’t come on until the 15th of November. Well, such is the power of this blog (haha!!) that the local govermnent took pity on me (and the few other people in Beijing I suppose) and ordered the heat be turned on early!
Thus, a couple of days ago, I awoke to a warm apartment! Huzzah!
Also as mentioned, this means the local smokestacks are all, very picturesquely, pumping out that smoke:
We're a go for heat.
A Blog of Lies post tomorrow, so see you back for Lethargic Friday!
I have given this great blog an award.. please pop over to my page to get it!
thanks

Chinaren, off-topic but important. Just to let you know. I “blog visiting” this morning using the Adgitize Preferred Publishers list. I clicked on your blog’s name, and I was directed to your old blog. After a few minutes, I navigated back to the list, refreshed my browser, saw your link there still and clicked. Still, I was directed to your old blog.
Again, just to let you know.
P.S. You can delete this comment after reading.
Yay for heat! I would so much rather be warm than cold.
@Patricia – I’ll pop over when I have my VPN software on. Thanks! (I can’t access Blogspot blogs in China normally).
@Eli – Darn. I’ll speak to Adgitize about this. Thanks for letting me know. Very strange though.
@Jordasche – Amen to that! Just in time too, it’s been mighty cold the last week!
A big chimney like that heat your apt. Quite interesting, you don’t have your own heat/heater inside your place. They must have so many pipes running everywhere (just imagining here:).
