Hmm, I'm an insomniac. I've slept about 2 hours (total) in the last three days. I've got to finish writing a thesis this morning. I'm tired.
I hate winter. For a few years, I was travelling to North China during my summer. I had 5 winters in a row, with no summer. In Australia, I'm used to 40+ degrees C. I quite like a day of around 42-45. Shorts, singlet, hat: it's comfortable, and convenient. In China, at around -40C, everything sucks. I got frostbite! That's really painful. I always get sick. You have to wear two layers of thermals, your normal clothes, a couple of jumpers, beanie, scarf, uber gloves, and a feather coat that's like carrying a quilt around. As soon as you get inside wearing that gear, you sweat just like squeezing a wet sponge. Then it's a race to get those rediculus clothes off. Damn, that's annoying.
Five dark, cold seasons in a row is really depressing for the mood.
Give me sunshine. Give me heat!
P.S. Perth winters are actually pretty sunny half the time, but it's still too cold for me.
