If you've ever wondered how it feels to be in deep freeze, right about now would be a pretty good time to visit Finland. It took me 3 hours yesterday to unfreeze various parts of my body even tho I had two pants on etc. (see the picture, I look like the michelin man)
A story from this morning: It took me about half an hour to put on all the clothes I needed just to stay alive outside. The second I step outside my whole face freezes to numb, and after a little while walking I can't feel my fingers. Then after few minutes or so I notice my hair being like a giant icicle of course white-colored. It's also a pretty unpleasant feeling when your nostrils and eyelashes freeze (it also looks amaaaazing when your lashes melt inside, no need to mention that I did not have a waterproof mascara). Then while I get to school three (3) kids come to me telling they put their tongue to a metal pole. Well you can imagine the rest. I can tell from a first hand experience that it HURTS to tear off your tongue from the freaking pole, and it's pretty bloody too, literally. And it's only getting colder, can't wait!
I actually regret not trying the icy metal pole thing when I was younger :O Now it would hurt too too much.
