Last winter, I was afforded a week's trip to Beijing and Shanghai, China. I was so excited because it was my first real cold weather experience! Even though it was winter, we didn’t get any snow because it was still early in the season. And in spite of being bundled up in winter clothes, the cold was still too much for us since we’re used to warm weather having been raised in a tropical country. Nevertheless, it was, all in all, a most enjoyable trip!
