Swintonian..Well, my ice spikes did not turn up in time. Ordered them from UK(eBay )on 17th December, and still not in Australia by 5th January.
Man, wasn't Harbin cold? I did not bother going to the ice festival after all that..My walking boots which I though would have been good enough, were a bit slippery, and I wasn't prepared to risk too much walking around. Still though, I did check out the Russian Church area and Zhangyang Street.
I had my boots on, two inner liners, thick socks, jeans, bomber jacket, big leather coat, two scarves and good gloves and still got cold in my fingers and toes.
Went to Beijing and Shanghai, and am now in Bangkok, and go to Cambodia tomorrow... So, from Minus 25 C to Plus 30 C.
Sone photos here ..
