The Last Time I’ll Mention “Cold” (Mad River Swimming)

So people are going in search of ice on which to seriously hurt themselves and icicles to photograph in astonishment.

Yes it was 3C this morning. Not boiling, I’ll admit. But imagine going out this morning and jumping into a river? A very black, dense, menacing-looking river?

This was one of my favourite days in my 28 year-long career of travelling in the mainland. Thank you, P. Thank you. And NOT thank you, static electricity that occurred because of the damned cold, the thermal underwear and the carpet in the hotel room, leading P and I to simultaneously drop the film camera when I handed it to him to take a look at the film footage of himself diving into said river.

今日凍啲 – Gam yat dong di (today is colder)
今日凍少少 – Gam yat dong siu siu (Today is a little colder)
今日凍好多 – Gam yat dong hou doh (Today is a lot colder)
