To me, one of the stranger things about China is how there's no expectation that the inside of a building should be warmer than the outdoors. Being that it's winter and temperatures have been hovering around the freezing point, you'd think that you'd get warmer by walking into a building. Not so!
At the university, each individual classroom is heated with room heaters. But once you leave the classroom, e.g., walk in the hallways or go to the bathroom, it's basically the same temperature as the outside. In fact, they even leave all the windows in the hallways and bathroom open.
The other day, I was taking a piss at the university bathroom and noticed that as my warm pee hit the cold air, steam could be seen rising from it.
