Most days in December and January seem to be overcast leaning toward a cold mist at 40 degrees. In a concrete apartment it is the kind of cold that soaks deep into my bones even deep into my psyche. For sure I am a winter weather wimp, but these accessories change me into a winter weather warrior.
Purple water bottle. I fill it up with boiling water to start class. It works great as both a hand warmer and hot drink during long English classes.
1/4 inch thick wool socks from the army surplus store Doolittle, Missouri
SiMian 1/2 inch thick silk quilted shirt.
Wool sweater from Tibet
Tiger hot water bottle left from the short term team winter weather warriors.
HuoTong fire box electric heater to warm our toes and legs while working at the computer.
Not pictured: electric blanket, wool long underwear, stocking cap, scarf, and so on.
I guess we could turn on our heaters. But neighbors always advise, “Then what will you do when the weather gets even colder?”

I was hoping to see Hello Kitty on your hot water bag. Tigers are cool too, though. But somehow you forgot to mention the most important necessity - the heart of a warrior! We laugh in the face of Chinese winter!
