As a Floridian, in fact I never really experience winter. When my parents took me and my younger brother in North Carolina, a winter when we went on the frozen river, I slipped and almost fell on the wall in the cold river. If it were not for the help of my father and a local pawn, helped from the ice would have dropped 40 meters deep in ice water.
Then it was my debut in high school, when my church youth group came to Wisconsin to go to snowSkiing and ate hard head before, when I reached the end of the field. No one bothered to teach me to stop or how to get the right clothing, where to go skiing. So when my jeans get wet when I fell, did for days and days very cold for this Florida. I thought my family Jewels frozen forever and be destroyed.
A few days later I received a local machine with full speed on a huge disc Wisconsin lake completely frozen over. Suddenly hit the breaks and begins with donuts! Woo-hoo! Fun Stuff! A bit 'ofnew experiences and unforgettable, in fact, just for you used to enjoy the sun!
Years later, as adults, when returning from 6 months working in warm Taiwan, I was about Toronto, Canada to go, where I spent the night in transit. I had no warm clothes and thought I would die. As I jumped from a van comforting to 20 meters walk to a Chinese restaurant, the air was so cold I felt in my bones – something I had never felt before in force.
By the wayYears later, when I went to the Soviet Union, I was well prepared with warm clothing and a heart on fire. Is now a world traveler who has more than 50 countries, I know how to endure the cold, but still prefer the warm climate. However, there are always friendly people around the world. My wife can attest to the Canadian, dass Fortunately, she was very happy to move to Florida after we got married.
