[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Nathan, I talked to several that arrived from Sudan 4 months ago and they told me that they have never seen snow in their life. We had a very lovely and warm summer in Finland, often around 30C (~ 84F) and amazingly humid. So they liked that a lot, but they have no idea what's coming at them. From beginning of December to end of Januray we have just a little bit over 1.5 hours of light and the temperatures will drop occasionally down to -30C (~ - 20F). I guess they won't like that ...

Your pictures gave me a nice feeling, reminding me of my many visits to Finland--and after all, I do have 25% Finnish blood, even if I do not speak the language. I wonder how Africans cope with the winter... Cheers, Nathan J?rg Willems wrote: > After a long time I am posting again.
