Chiang Mai, Thailand

We've safely arrived in Thailand and have since been hanging out with friends enjoying the great Western food and warm weather. It is great to not have to bundle up every time we head outside. However, we discovered that we really like the cold weather of Harbin as we feel just dirty after a day walking around and sweating.

So far we have been really low key in Chiang Mai. We've taken care of some business like meeting our adviser, doctor's appointments, and dentist's appointment. We've enjoyed each of these great foods Jerusalem Falafel, Mike's Hamburgers, great Italian food, and The Art Cafe for Mexican food. We are now ready for round 2 at each. Check out some of the photos from around Chiang Mai:

Big World of Ice and Snow

We visited the 10th Annual Harbin Ice and Snow World this weekend. Ever since the day we learned we would be in Harbin we had been waiing to get to this place. When we immediately googled Harbin, we saw the pictures of the Ice and Snow World. And now we have been there too!

Walking around for 2 hours in 0 degree weather was great. Not once were we cold. Well maybe once our toes got cold as we stood in line on the ice steps waiting for the big slide. We soon realized it was too cold to be standing still and the line was not moving fast enough we jumped out of line to get some frozen fruit and see the other sights.

Check out the photos from our time there:

Pizza and Snow

Winter is coming to Harbin. I will not say arrived yet because the temperatures are only in the 20's. We still have a long ways to go to get to winter. Check out the photos of the team's pizza party and first snow in Harbin.
