I still have a few pairs, but I keep them in our apartment in China; no need for them here in the Philippines. Never heard of hand-warmers. My experience is that it's the warmer places unaccustomed to cold winters that are the coldest, whether Holland or Guangdong. Cold countries like Finland and Canada are prepared for winters and I was never cold in either place because the indoors were always toasty warm.<br /><br />[We will go on an outing between the 26th and 30th, driving up to the northernmost tip of the Philippines. My China-born hubby and I don't do anything special on the 25th. I bet your family has already adopted the Western ways of the holiday season, right?]Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-78389740571368018032010-12-22T02:46:06.776-08:002010-12-22T02:46:06.776-08:00your slippers look very warm. nice warm pink colou...your slippers look very warm. nice warm pink colour, too!VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-47150562901307382992010-12-22T01:04:33.388-08:002010-12-22T01:04:33.388-08:00Looks very cozy and warm, cute shoes!

However, it is not a warming device my daughter holds in her hand - it is a red LED-light put inside a kind of small plastic ball. I have never seen or heard of the kind of hand-warmer you mention.

There are, however , those programs on TV showing that many Europeans from the former communist countries are living in very poor circumstances, without any heating at all.<br />Thanks for visiting. Kangaroes are funny animals but they are annoying in your garden or on your land. I can understand that your mum was furious to see her crop eaten by them. My daughter had a fence around her kitchengarden. A friend of hers had a banana tree and as soon as the bananas were ripe a group of wallabies came and while the biggest of them were picking them , the others were waiting for him to divide them. They are afraid of dogs though, so if you have a couple of them on your land it'll help.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-70252883994104584852010-12-21T21:44:13.399-08:002010-12-21T21:44:13.399-08:00I just wrap a blanket around my legs whilst at the...I just wrap a blanket around my legs whilst at the computer (when I get cold).
