Getting colder

It must be about 5-8 degrees outside.  We’ve only been here (Manzhouli – about 10 minutes outside of Russia) during the (sunny) day  and so far we haven’t seen snow – so not that cold yet.

With respect to the National Day celebrations, the locals were in fact not allowed out, and foreigners weren’t allowed within a 1.5km radius or so.

Interestingly, I’ve managed to get myself in a strange social situation here (I had nothing to do with it) – suffice to say I’m getting rather more of an insight into Chinese culture than I bargained for.  I will post more later.
