Spring at Last

Generally in the winter here in Beijing I start to get tired of the cold weather, and having to tell every cab driver who takes me anywhere to close their windows, and the frigid buildings that would be warm if they would just keep the front doors closed (not to mention the windows), and start counting how long it'll be before the weather will finally warm up. Usually I figure that sometime in March that seasonal change will take place, and I'm very happy to report that it has arrived! This past week has been much warmer than Beijing has been since October or so, warm enough even to go without a jacked on Wednesday (though that was also the day of a sand storm, so not the nicest of days, really).

Now all we have to worry about is whether there will be more sand storms (a probability, given the serious drought Beijing has been experiencing) and when will the heat and humidity of summer arrive.
