    Not all rural China are like this, she lives in a village managed by one of the richest cities in China. Not all Chinese local governments have the money to build nice roads and hiking trails in tiny villages. Take the earthquake that killed more than one hundred people in western China late last year for example, it's one of the poorest areas of China and life is very different. (There's also the culture aspect as the people there are predominantly Muslims, Chinese Muslims, Mongolian Muslims and Tibetan Muslims)

Now I am not in the country, and your video invoked my half sweet half bitter memory of my village.

    Yeah, Haha, I too survived the winter in North Am. but in the SW. I have not spent a winter in a cold climate for years. My body went into shock for the 1st month or two and then I adapted. Now Spring is arriving and I am loving the cold and then warm, then cooler temps as it warms up bc/ we all know including the trees especially, that it's not going the other way. It will only continue to get warmer. So the snow that comes here and there is welcomed. I love snow bc/ it's so fun to play in and such a miracle of soft floating water in crystaline form, then stays white when it piles up on the ground, truely amazing. And the negative ions are mood lifting, so added benefit. However, not fond of the freezing cold part.
