I appreciate the information but please make sure it's correct and factual. It's your basic duty as a journalist / blogger. The SE Asian tsunami occured in 2004, not 2005. It also only affected the Andeamen Sea side of Thailand and did not affect the Gulf of Thailand. Chaweng Beach is on Samui which is in the Gulf and was not affected at all.

The Philippines desperatly needs aid, supplies, and food. Leave your personal opinion out of it. Your comments may encourage people not to donate aid when this country desperatly needs it. Stick to travel deals...

Thanks for your interest. We are currently in negotiation with our landlord to re-open our Wangjing store at a future date. We hope to have confirmation on this in the coming weeks. In the meantime we are serving the WJ area form our nearby Lido location, and have just added several highspeed electic bikes to cover the area in a faster time. Will keep all posted once we have more news.

the dates represent the last date for heat to be turned on.

most of us start our heating before that when it starts to seem cold.

you'll need as humidifier anywhere in the world in the winter.

the heating of cold air reduces the relative humidity because the saturation vapor pressure of water is increased by heating while the amount of water in the air stays the same.

beijing is a relatively dry area so the heating effect is enhanced here. an added benefit of adding water vapor is that the room will seem warmer if the relative humidity is higher.
