November 30, 2007 at 12:35 AMI spent a year in Harbin, and unfortunately all of the streets don't turn into ice skating rinks... It actually doesn't snow that much, and what snow does fall turns into dirty grey sludge and ice. Mostly it's just cold as balls and windy. I think most Harbin locals wear long underwear for almost half the year despite the fact that once the heat is on it is always boiling inside.
Anyway, the ice lantern festival is more amazing in person than you would guess from pictures and worth the trip. You get used to the cold. I miss that place, actually.
