summer's ending

As I mentioned a few posts back, the temperature can very quickly drop here in Suzhou. In the last couple of days, we've gone from quite warm, humid days where we've used the air conditioning regularly, to a drop of at least 5 degrees cooler. It's days like these when you realise how cold Suzhou can get, and that when people keep telling you that it gets really cold that you start to believe them.

On another topic - here's an interesting widipedia article on funny words. Apparently words like underpants (and simply pants), duck, megaphone, weasel, spleen and the 'Wankel rotary engine' are inherently funny... if you're not laughing now as you read this, there's something wrong with you!!
