It’s incredible. I’m just finally finishing up a picture post on them, but my jaw was on the floor…

It was -26 or so when the sun set, so not too cold by Harbin standards. Mmmm…. Russian food! After a weekend of Beijing duck I feel the Russia Garden calling me…

When you said Ice sculptures I thought it was going to be swans replicas of The Kiss about 2 metres high. Like in Grindelwald.

I wasn’t expecting a whole bunch of palaces.

What a thing to see.

Made for a great excuse to warm up with goulash and a local beer at the impressive Russian tea house we found right off the smaller (then Disney-themed) site.

I’m glad you are! I’m going to bring you lots of lovely pictures of it. 2013 is coming along nicely. A few more things to slot into place. But really getting there.

Seems like 2013 finally got on the right track 🙂

Zac is exactly the same as my sister’s boyfriend when it comes to discussions about dressing up warm. Right down to the words “I’ll be fine”. Made me smile when I read that.

I’ll bring you the full thing in pictures tomorrow, Dave. It IS absolutely amazing, which is why I split it into two posts — although, of course, Harbin DOES have an airport. We’ve had a really odd blend of the dismal and the utterly magical at the start of this year…

Way too old for this adventure now so I thank you for the vicarious experiences.
