It's quite cold

There is an ice lantern festival in a place called Harbin, way up north. It is the closest Chinese city to Russia. A few people from class are talking about going up there to check out the sights.
Am I going? Hell no.
The average temperature in Harbin is 30 degrees below zero. I'm told today was -10 and I almost lost my manhood to the cold. It's ridiculous how miserably cold it was today. The wind is the real killer - when you're indoors it's fine.
So in conclusion, Harbin is the kind of place you want to visit in the pages of a good book, while next to a roaring fire. Give me the heatwave!!
And to show you I'm serious, here is a photo of me standing on a frozen lake and looking red and pissy.
Peace out.
