People who are living in this cold land
have to be tough physically and mentally. The coldest temperature I have ever
experience before is -18℃. I though it is crazy enough to ride a bicycle in that weather. But
Duncan told me that his daughter’s school let kids play outside when the
temperature was -20, and kids still can have fun. Not to mention lots of crazy
guys try to challenge their limitation.
Lots of thing we think that is crazy or is
a dream are routines here. Duncan told me that his 10-year-old daughter can
drive snow mobile; many people drive airplane, like lots of people drive cars elsewhere;
Ralf、Jon and Duncan
told in winter this year a guy rode a bike to Nome, Alaska( there is no road
connecting to Nome, how to get there? Well river and lake are all frozen in
winter). Every place has its own lifestyle; perhaps Alaskan will be surprised by
the convenience of Taipei that you literally almost can buy everything you want
in every block.
My leg is still a little bit uncomfortable,
but I can walk without extreme pain. I walked around is there other thing that
is new to me in Duncan’s huge garden. No longer than 10 minutes, Duncan came up
to me and asked if I want to go to kid’s spring recital with them.

We stepped by a supermarket on the way back to Duncan’s home. I found that the cost of living is not as high as people told me. The prices either equal to or lower than the prices in Taiwan. Perhaps those people want to enjoy higher living standard, or costs in other thing are higher (electricity is expensive here according to Duncan).
