Diary
Recently, the weather become increasingly hot. I live in Chongqing, is known as one of China's four furnaces, city where summertime temperatures can soar to 40 degrees celsius. In August, if you go outside in the noon, you will feel your face burned by the sun. So a variety of cold drinks and snacks are pretty popular, it's very relaxing to do the things in the air-condition house.
