In January we sold a home gym to a couple in their twenties who were from Vladivostok which is Russia’s largest port on the Pacific Ocean and home to their Pacific fleet. It is about 60 miles from Russia’s border with North Korea.
We were going through a cold spell here. We asked them how they liked it here and they said they loved how warm it was this time of the year. We were dressed up in coats, hats and gloves. They were outside with no coats or hats and looked perfectly comfortable.
My wife’s father was an army veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He hated Korea the most. He was badly wounded and listed as missing in action for a couple of months. The family thought that he was dead, but he was actually in a coma and somehow misidentified.
I had a similar weather experience in Disneyworld once.
I was attending a conference in Anaheim and one evening the park was opened for the attendees (it was closed for the ‘cold’ season).
It was warm enough for shirtsleeves (for a Hoosier boy) but the poor kids running the controls for the rides were bundled up like Arctic explorers; shivering and complaining ‘bout the cold!
