It is suddenly getting spring in Shanghai. We were having sunny days for over a week already, but it was still quite cold. Yesterday the thermometer suddenly shot up. Officially it would only be 12 degrees Celcius, however my wife told me the car showed 18 degrees around lunchtime. At that time I was riding my bike with Gary, and it indeed felt quite warm. The gloves I was wearing were totally unneccesary, and I took off my shawl almost right away.
Gary and I drove to Sheshan, to have lunch with his girlfriend and my wife at Le Meridien. The ride took us a bit longer than planned (we arrived at 1:30 PM instead of 12:30 PM), but luckily lunch was served until 2:30 PM. While enjoying a beer I realized my face was hurting a bit, and it turned out I was sunburned from the ride. I guess I should be outside more often, I am not used to being exposed to a bit of sunshine anymore.
The warm weather will continue until the middle of the week, after that the temperature will drop again. But by then I’ll be in Amsterdam where it is colder anyway.
you got sunburn because you are white, if you were black you would never have to worry about it
