Missing the snow ?

When I show pictures of my life in Brazil here in December I often get the question: Don't you miss the snow?

Well, sometimes I miss walking on frosty snow and hearing the special squecking noise it makes... but then thinking about the cold, so much clothes to wear, traffic jams, removing ice from the car and especially those very dark days.
For months its dark in Denmark when driving to work and dark again before leaving work. That is terrible.

In Brasilia, on the darkest days, its gets dark at around 7pm. But almost all days we have sunshine. The sunshine is so good for the body and mind. I would find it very depressing living in Denmark, after trying something else...
This is great !

One day before christmas I am at the pool, in 30 degrees and sunshine, while Denmark has snowstorm !
One big reason why Brasilianse are much more smiling :-)
I am too...
