MY IMPRESSION IN SHANGHAI (the weather)

      Shanghai is a great place, as I mentioned in the previous blog I wrote, but it’s just too hot. Well, I actually don’t know why technically it’s so hot in the summer. I only know that Shanghai is pretty close to the Torrid Zone. But that shouldn’t make Shanghai a place that temperature reaches 40 C in July!

      I arrived in Shanghai a week ago. The weather was pretty okay last week. It wasn’t so hot, but warm enough. It was about 20 to 25 C very day last week. It would be like 20 C in Vancouver. It’s not bad last week. But it’s so hot this week. We turned on air conditioner every night.

I guess it is sinful complaining like this. So I found a few Chinese cold jokes to cool myself down. ;) I just simply translated them:

1.     The weather is so hot. I was just buying some eggs. But when I arrived home, the eggs bore chicks! I got a bamboo mat yesterday. After sleeping on it’s a heater! I don’t need to start the car, because the car tuned up itself! The table was too hot. When I just start playing Mah-Jong, it was Hued胡.

      Oh man! Today’s July, 12^th. I haven’t been writing blogs for almost a week. Well, I got to write my next one. J
