February weekend away in Harbin northern China where temperatures do not get warmer than -15c . Had to buy the obligatory hat. I also wore for the 1st time my new “bought-at-the-fake-market” Uggs boots. As recommended by the shop I was bare feet in them and very sceptical about it. But they work. Two days in severe weather conditions and walking on snow and ice without any sign of my feet getting cold.

Trying to keep warm

Harbin is well known for the “Ice City” they build every year. I have to say it is rather impressive.
