Hi all,

Now that we have had the best part of our summer, here in China.
Is every one looking forward to the cooler, colder weather?

Living in Weifang, is great, we have long dry summers, and quite short dry winters
But the winters are damn cold winters.
They can drop down to minus 15 deg C, or so.

To get away from the cold, 2 years ago, we went to Beihai for a month, and to Sanya, for 2 weeks.
Last year we went to Vietnam.
Now we are thinking what to do this winter.

And her has come up with the idea of Beihai again.
Not for 1 month though, but for 2 and a half months !

We are planning a month in Beihai.
Then 2 weeks in Puerto Galera, which is Philippines.
( Fly Guangzhou to Manila £70 each return )
Then back to Beihai for 6 weeks.

We hope to be away from middle of November to Middle of February.
Well they are ball park dates.

So what are you all going to be doing?

Hi Lunny,
no break?
Does it get as cold where you are, as it does in the city where I am?

If I’m not able to be somewhere seeing the world then my winters are usually spent saving and being desperate to see the world!

I love Christmas so dont mind the November - December part of winter but January etc is horrendous. And I’m not going travelling next until mid 2014. Urgh!
