Winter here is pretty cold. On paper it doesn't look that bad (well above zero anyway) but it's damp and there is no heating inside so it always feels very chilly. An example of this is our school. People (students and staff alike) wear coats and hats inside. Sometimes it even feels warmer outside than inside!
Our school is a new set up, freshly painted, new interactive white boards etc. and then we find a family of rats running around the place! The reaction to this has been quite blasé - basically they just ignore it.

Nanning has a handful of clubs that are popular with both the Chinese and the foreigners in town. I went along to one and was surprised to see it was nothing like any club I've been too before. People sit around tables and there is a show on stage, a mix of cabaret, circus acts (with dogs as the animals) and singing. After the show the stage is cleared and the music starts, for people to dance.
Another club here has a live jazz band. This is a mix of western and Chinese musicians and the music is a combination of both. It's one of the few places we've encountered that has live music (not counting the numerous KTV - karaoke - bars).
