One of the big and fancy hotels here puts on an "ICE" show every winter. People from all over the world come to carve sculptures out of ice. Another teacher and I took some students. It was great fun because some of them have never really been around much ice or snow, and they were definately not used to the chilly 9 degrees F! I didn't take my camera, but my student sent me a couple pictures. Doesn't it look lovely! The last photo is the nativity scene, but she took it from the side so it's kindof hard to see - notice the sheep down in front. Actually, I wonder if that was purposefully, as she is Muslim and just recently celebrated the sacrificing of the sheep. Huh. Anyways, we had a great time. There were also ice slides, which of course we all had to try. This is as close as I'm getting to Winter this year!

um, don't you live in FLORIDA?
so, that was not outside, right?
haha - yes - that was NOT outside. It was great to feel winter for a bit though! as soon as we got back outside, we had to take our coats and scarves off! I bet it's cold where you are!
hm.... actually I live on the southern coast of China, and am further south than you are. However, we get our North winds directly from Siberia in the winter, so it might be a little cooler here.
