OOoooh, So you are my neighbor here a Wisconsinite?...so you know how cold it gets here...2 weeks ago we, in Chicago had -16 C, I guess it was pretty close for you there as well. But if you stay outside for a while you get used to it, At least I do. So you are right, it depends on where you grew up-in what kind of climate. But you get hot weather here as well, and you know that...in summers we get as hot, or hotter temps than in Bkk. and I live through it,...but I still would not want to live in hot weather like that whole year `round...year after year....Well hang in there 1 more month, and spring will break and then hot Thailand like summer
