The real reason I was going to write this post though, was because I'm sitting here at work in my t-shirt and jeans, and I'm still too warm. Why is this? I don't know! It's 13C outside (55F) with a lowest temperature today of -1C. Sure, my side of the building faces south, so we get more sun, but this is absurd!
Supposedly, central heating doesn't kick on in Beijing until tomorrow (11/15), and we have our individual air conditioning units set to cool our area at 20C. Yet my feet are still sweating.
This is China.

When I get to work, I start peeling layers off. On my walk to work today, I wore the following layers: tshirt, thin cashmere sweater, cotton hoodie, down jacket, and a light jacket. Right now I'm sitting here in just a plain ol' tshirt.
On the other hand, my friend at the *ahem* other tech industry office a stone's throw away is freezing her butt off, bundled up in multiple layers and hats. Crazyness.
