    We're back in a deep freeze. It's -11 Celsius. I'm totally going to drive to get the boy at lunch cause it's just too cold walking west. I'm a wimp today I guess

    Occasionally I think it’d be nice to live somewhere with “four seasons”. Then I read threads like this during winter and decide.... Nah, I’m good! 😆

    I love the 4 seasons. Well we really get 3, a looooong winter, summer and fall. We rarely have a real spring. We can go from freezing cold to hot and humid in a week.

    I'd rather deal with cold.. you can put on layers of clothing to be warm.. hot and humid summer.. not so much.

    Here it’s hot & humid from March/April to Sept/Oct, then the other 3 seasons get crammed into the remaining 6mo!

    Autumn is the best - warm and dry.

    Winter doesn’t get truly cold, but the buildings are all concrete and there’s no central heat so it can get uncomfortably chilly for a few weeks. Hong Kongers would lose their minds if it snowed!

    Spring is generally dreary and wet.

    That’s what the (beach / lake / river / pool) is for! Amazing how much water cools you down. Added bonus: a day of swimming and running in sand really drains a kid. Home, shower, bed - out like a light!

    I too am happier with cold but not the frigid. Cold damp days are the worst when it just goes right into your bones

    FALSE! Hahaha - I am a total water baby. As a kid I’d be out the door at dawn, in the pool or at the river until dusk, then come home and take a long hot bath / shower before bed. Still would if I could get away with it! 🧜🏼‍♀️

    Alright, I’d better hit the sack. I’ve got lessons to tackle in the morning, followed by a pile of housework that mounted while I was sick last week. Should be a rainy day, so hopefully I can catch up!

    Nite Chrysalis.

    I need to get out and get some groceries but I must let my hair dry a bit. I can't find my hair dryer. Someone...Unice....must have put it away somewhere never to be found by me again

    When i was in hk last year, i was suffocating due to the heat. I dont think i ever been that cranky in my life

    I’m used to heat. It’s really not even all that hot, mostly 80s & 90s - but the humidity is INSANE! The day we arrived 4yrs ago it was 98F + 98% humidity... record-breaking heat index of ~119! Makes it hard to breathe. We hide during the day unless we’re headed to water.

    When there's a strange woman at the grocery store wearing ski goggles and it ends up she's a curler and you know her from the club.

    But gotta admit i loved walking around and taking pics there


    These pics are amazing!

    I live 4 seasons.. Its a love/hate relationship. Would be perfect if I lived somewhere that was 85, sunny, breezy and near a beach that doesn't get hurricanes or earthquakes all year round.

    I think Hawaii would be a pretty near perfect place to live

    Actually I was told in Aruba it has like perfect weather. It's a bit windy but they get like a couple of days of rain a year how perfect is that
