62.252.0.9 changed the name of the mayor from Tan Zhongchi to Nirav Desai. Since the same IP subsequently made a nonsense change to a number, and didn't attribute or summarize the name change, I reverted. Someone with the ability to check should verify the mayor's name.

Are you guys sure about the weather of Changsha in Winter? It can rain 3 weeks in a row, mostly drizzling, but rarely stop. And since the humidity is so high, the chilliness is more penetrating than in many colder but drier northern cities. It's typical in a sullen Winter afternoon, people crouch in front of a stove which is usually the center piece of the room, warming their hands on the chimney, chatting and drinking hot tea poured off a steaming pot, trying to get the end of the day. A heating system is ridiculed by people since every one knows "Changsha is a southern city". But as a matter of fact, many people from north of china, like Shen-yang, develope frostbites after they came to Changsha where they feel it's much colder. I was raised in Changsha and left it after graduation from medical school. My wife still has an apartment there but I am always shy on the idea of retiring in Changsha, even with the cheaper living standard and much more friendly people than found in New York, because of the weather. The weather is just nasty, let alone air pollution. Oh my! --StillOcean 13 August 2006
