Welcome to my third year of keeping a photo journal, where I add a photo each week of the Chinese Zodiac Year. Links to my previous journals for the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit are below on the right.
Why have I used a Welsh Dragon on my banner? Well, our family is more than half Welsh - Mike is Welsh and grew up in South Wales, and my paternal Grandfather was Welsh, although he moved to Australia as a child. I like the amalgamation of our Welsh heritage with our current life in China.

Week 50 - Harbin


Mike and I went away for our first childfree weekend, and it coincided with our seventh wedding anniversary.  Mum and Dad were in town to look after the kidlets, so we braved temperatures of -25 degrees Celsius (yes, below zero) to visit Harbin in the top north east corner of China, not very far from Russia.
Every January there is a snow and ice sculpture festival, and this was the opening night at the Ice Sculptures.  Everything was built of ice, and illuminated with fluorescent lights.  There were a number of parks around Harbin each of which had ice or snow sculptures.  It was a real adventure, and we had a wonderful time!!
