Yep winter is winter where ever you are. Africa is NOT the hottest place in the world (at least in my experience) some places here get even below zero C. You might think that this is warmer than winter in Europe but back in Russia we have heating facilities in houses and warm clothes. Here we have purchased a gas heater and now we refill tank every month to get ourselves warm. Sometimes I look at the fish in aquarium and think how lucky they are to have always +24. You know what to do when you are freezing? you need to take hot bath or shower and jump right into bed. However, outside seems to be warmer than inside.
