Is it really depressing, cold and grey? I was there last to last year, and didn’t feel it much since it was already February and moving around in a car, one doesn’t notice the temperatures. I am fearing it even more since I haven’t experienced winter in 2 years … just so happens I switched hemispheres at the right timings. I don’t like the cold!!
Please make me feel better about bearing the Canadian winter and name all the highlights. I will probably be making use of the public transport system as well ( I hate public transport).
Well the snow is really pretty to look at, and all the houses look so cute - like something out of a fairytale and you feel like you're in a snow globe, but stepping out of the house bundled up in 10 layers of clothes isn't my thing - im very much a jeans and t-shirt sort of person. :(
clubbing in the winter? lol is that how you keep warm?
Depends on how South African winters feel. Canadian winters weren’t too bad after 15 years of bone-chillingly damp English ones.
At least here if you wrap up you stay warm, since it’s a dry cold rather than a damp one. Just watch out for the windchill. You don’t want to have exposed skin.
But I was lamenting over the sad situation and was trying to gain some sympathy, which is not possible in a cold-blooded forum like “Travel and Tourism”.
