These days it's so cold and rainy in Sinjhuang, in the area where I live. My girlfriend and I try to stay inside and warm up in bed. Unlike Slovenians, Taiwanese don't heat in winter. And winters can be pretty cold in Northern Taiwan, especially if it rains for days. It's usually between 10-15 degrees. I wonder how come some guys can wear sandals, when they go out. It's true, I've came to Taipei during the Slovenian winter 2009/2010, which was extremely cold (-21 degrees C one morning), but I still feel kinda cold here. I just don't like rainy weather.
Here are some photos of rainy Sinjhuang during Chinese new year. Streets are empty, traffic is smooth, people seem to be at home rather than outside:
The river is full of water.
On a normal day this would be full of scooters.
Signage explosion!
Taiwanese ride scooters even in heavy rain: admirable.
It's interesting, how the main road splits.
So many signboards again.
Fresh veggies for the consumers.
Hope the rain goes away soon...
The road seems endlessly long.
This house looked interesting to me. A little gloomy, though.
