Summer finally hit Russia or Moscow to be more exact. It is a beautiful 30 degrees Centigrade (86F) during the day. This is a wonderful temperature and coupled with a lack of humidity, makes it unbelievably Spring Like…
People in Moscow laugh at Winter and it can hit the exact opposite temperature at -30 degrees Centigrade and they will still play chess, drink vodka and smoke cigarettes outside. So what is a little cold?
Russians will laugh at America when the going gets cold…
Now the Americans can laugh at Russia when the going gets hot…
Muscovite’s are just not use to the heat. The playgrounds are empty during the day, no one playing chess outside and you find out that Russians do own shorts and sleeveless shirts. Why they even have to mow the grass…
Just a week ago everyone had coats on and it looked like winter was going to make a attempt at a come back. Svet was bundled up in a coat and even I was wearing a long sleeve shirt!
It really is all in your perspective. Russia is so huge that it has very hot humid areas and very frozen cold areas. All at the same time year around. But Moscow has finally welcomed Summer and I hear talk of “When is Winter coming back?”
Not long, so enjoy while you can…
Windows to Russia!
