Huludao, Sooke and snow.

Received the official word that my papers are in order and should be wending their way from Huludao to Sooke for me to get my Z Visa.  Too bad I paid for a two entry L visa before. 

Hoping the weather there will be milder than it is here right now.  Whoever ordered snow needs a severe talking to.  We are not pleased - that is everyone, not the royal we.  Seems it is just as cold in Huludao as here right now; no idea if there is any snow.  I expect a snowy scene in the forest is much nicer than a snowy city scape so will try to appreciate the clean, crisp, fresh snowfall and the clean environment.
