Screw that, I don't miss -30 to -40 Celsius here in Alberta... I work a lot in China also and a Winter in Chengdu reaches a lowly +5 at the worst, now that is bearable. When I left on Saturday it was +33 in Beijing, while I came home to +8.
I do like 4 seasons but after so many years of it you just get tired and want some warm weather.
