Winter is Here!

I love everything about this lady's outfit, from her massive fur hat, to the colour of the blue of her fur-lined del.  It's incredible!  If I could pull that off, I absolutely would, but alas! I was in a fur shop the other week, and I was trying on large fur hats just for the fun of it, and they just really don't suit me!  Too bad, especially since they are ridiculously cheap here (think, $27 for a massive fur hat-- I'm not shitting you!).

Anyway, it's -25 Celcius with windchill here in Ulanbaatar.  I've tried telling people here that it's every bit as cold where I come from (the Canadian prairies) as it is in Ulaanbaatar, but still Mongolians insist on condescending to me about my ability to handle the cold.  Well, I've got news for you: with windchill, it is -40 Celcius in my hometown today.  Compared to UB's puny -25 Celcius (actually, -25 was a few days ago-- today felt a lot warmer than that).  It's actually COLDER where I come from, so will you please stop condescending to me about my ability to handle the weather?  Please!
