冬至 - Experiencing Winter solstice

Yesterday was the Winter Solstice (冬至).

We only hear about Winter Solstice (冬至) in Singapore but never know what it is really like. To us, it may be just another rainy day on a hot sunny island.

冬至 is suppose to be midwinter, the start of a new year, the coldest day of winter. Indeed the temperature fell to (-9 degrees /-17 degrees) (day/night).

I went to school with wet hair but found the water in my hair froze and ice formed in my hair within a few minutes... 发如雪...

Oh ya, remember to eat your dumplings for 冬至 or your ears will fall off!!! I ate 12...muhaha... Ears are confirmed intact...
