Once, long time ago was my first trial into ice-swimming , but for different reasons I quit.
Today, after easily influenced by peer pressure in search of adventure, I allow some adrenaline to go through my system and try this type of experience again. And, to my own surprised I survived the trial!!!! It is worth to say, that now I am ready to sleep with the angels 🙂
Ah! with this post I begin the personal diary section, with sharing purposes 😉
I would like to hear the argument of the city administrators or economists towards this phenomena:
a bus ride in Helsinki costs 2.20 euros, a bus ride in Tampere costs 2.00 euros and a bus ride in Joensuu costs 2.70 euros
(tickets avaible as evidence)
if I had been understanding correctly, ancient cultures gain most of their wisdom by observing the nature, and allowing themselves to be merge with it. Now, our modern civilization follow other methods, frameworks and so on to gain knowledge.
On my side, as a good mestiza I can’t avoid to admire both ways of generate knowledge. Then here I share a couple of screen shots of “weather” observations.
The first picture is from January 7th of this year. Joensuu +2 (firs row, second purple bar from right to left). But I actually took this picture just to show that Mexico City had a lower temperature than Germany: Mexico City 9 °C while Offenburg +14 °C (first and second bars from left to right)
Now, just a month later on Feb. 7th, my attention goes to Joensuu, which is 33 degrees lower in its temperature. WOW! what a change!!!
And actually I have no much more reflection at this point, besides to be surprised and admire mother nature. Maybe it is “normal” , or as we all know this is consequence of a global warming, I do not know. However I hope all the birds who were confused around Noljaka can manage to survive this change. :/
