Yes, looking forward to the new stuff, zeke.
back on the topic, is where you live are extremely hot and clod? how can you handle that? Also what is the second language people speak there? French?
I live in a temperate climate (4 seasons). Winters can get a bit cold (-30 Celsius or worse, but those days are few) - on average, a typical winter day ranges from -15 to -5 Celsius. Winter lasts from late November until early April. Spring and fall are beautiful here - though they tend to be fairly short (about 2 months each). Summer generally rolls in late May, early June and temperatures can occasionally rise into the 30's but usually hover between +15-25 range.
How can I handle it? I've lived here all of my life and, really, I count myself fortunate to live in a region that has all of the seasons. Sure, there are times in the winter when I wish I lived somewhere a bit warmer, but not enough to make me move. Besides, while some prefer living in dense urban areas, I truly appreciate the space and nature here in Northern Canada. There are lakes everywhere and plenty of untouched forest. My yard is 3.5 (200 feet x 900 feet) acres and backs onto a river. I can go fishing and hiking any time I want...just walk 10 minutes up the road and I'm in the bush...
As for French, "oui, nous sommes plusieurs qui parlent le francais"...it is the second official language, although I would venture that only about 25% of the population speaks it - more in Quebec and eastern provinces, with some dense French communities in Northern Ontario and Manitoba...
