I -wish- it was freezing here.  It was an unbearably hot 76 degrees today.  80 yesterday!  ( 24.4C and 26.6C respectively)   I'm already dying and we're not even into June, forget July and August with their 100+ ( 38C) days.    Maker, what I wouldn't give for winter again.

 

*drinks something frigid*

 

At least you folks up North have a decent Winter, with proper snow and all.

 

Here down South, it's like perpetual Summer. >_> It's only cold at night, and even so, you can't sleep with more than 1 blanket. Otherwise, you wake up all sweaty and tired. x__x

Nothing.  Like I said, it was more of an obligation thing.  Here, start reading here:

Ah that was around the time I started conquering the Japanese.

Opposite here in Canada. It's hot and my A/C is running.

 

We have a foot of snow in Alberta right now! I'm shivering!

(Which is why Brazilians have a real hard time making love during any season except winter, lol)

  "Dazzle, when will the NDP ever win an election up here?"  "When Alberta freezes over in May, dearie."

 

We've had a lot of hell froze over jokes here today.

My problem isn't with hair. It's with noses. I am awful with guy noses!

I feel ya, sista. When I get the black emporium downloaded Saturday my stache elf is getting a nose job. It's bulbousness is really noticeable in certain cut scenes.

Man, I am going to keep restarting until he looks passably awesome. I am not starting the game with someone I cringe to look at until I get my war table, lol.

 

Dazzle is finicky.

I'm in Ontario, but I heard about you guys. We had quite a bit of snow in April too. Now it's all melted and only this week the trees are budding finally.

 

It was lovely and green for almost a month!

In the five or so years I've been living here, I can't remember it ever being cold in Queensland.

The lowest temperature I can recall was about 20 - 25 degrees celsius.

Meanwhile, I'll just stay here and enjoy the few precious cool nights of Autumn before it becomes hot all over again. >_>"

Sounds like Brazil's temperature as well. 

Here, it varies between 22~40º C.

 

You get a suntan merely by walking on the street.

Lol, that sounds about right.

Still it's nice having consistently warm weather, annual flood aside.

Every time there's a flood, it's like a national emergency. January is the worst month.

People build fragile houses, sometimes even on mountains slopes. And then, comes the flood and everything is dragged by the strong water currents:

People lose everything: their car, their house, their belongings. It's really crazy and the government just doesn't give a flying f_ck.

Why would you build a fragile house on a mountain slope? That's like, asking nature for a hard time.

Indeed! But the poor in Brazil do it by the thousands. >_> The govt. should build houses for them and provide proper transportation so they may go to work, but it doesn't. 

 

There is even a huge city within a city called Rocinha (there's no translation for it in English, sorry ç.ç). 

It's hundreds of thousands of houses on a huge mountain slope. Approximately 300,000.

 

And there's a tunnel in that mountain connecting 2 important parts of the city. Whenever there's a flood, you can imagine the disaster that ensues...people just can't go to work.

 

 

And I won't even get started on the violence and the drug dealers that haunt Rocinha...it's like, everybody knows it exists, but pretend they don't.
