What will I wear in Winter?

Rob and I in our new, matching down jackets.
It is getting seriously cold here and it's not even Winter yet! My apartment is like an ice block when I get up in the morning - will definitely be purchasing my first ever electric blanket and a heater soon. The bike ride to school is like riding naked to school, despite the layers - I have begun wearing my 'genuine, handmade' Thinsulate gloves that I bought at the Great Wall and a polarfleece headband. Thank goodness I had my lovely mother send over a decent down jacket (not that I don't trust the 'genuine' products on sale in China!) - am definitely going to need it during Winter (even had to wear it in Chengdu). A visit to the tailor is definitely on the cards, I will need some more Winter clothes as I'm wearing all my current ones now. I hope everyone back in Melbourne is enjoying the lovely Spring weather! To combat the cold, I'm planning a beach holiday in Vietnam for the Chinese New Year break, something to look forward to.
Rob arrives back in Wuxi tomorrow afternoon, so we will take him out for a night on the Wuxi town - everyone needs to visit a nightclub with a bouncing floor once in their life!

Don't worry Anna, we've been having some miserable weather here in Melbourne lately (I had my electric blanket on the other night!) so we empathise with you!
