Winter or Summer

While people in Sweden are enjoying the summer, I’m “suffering” the African winter. Before coming here people said that I should bring warm cloths though it would be chilly at night. Even if I was told that, I was surprised how cold it is when the sun is gone. While you are enjoying the summer, I’m sitting here with my warmest cloths, the heater on and drinking a hot cup of tea. Well I think it is my preconception that Africa should always be warm that makes me feel colder. It is not much colder than a normal Swedish summer day. It is colder inside than outside so when sleeping I have the heater on, a warm cover, warm socks and pants and still feeling cold. Looking on the bright side of it, it will be two months like this and then the rest of the year it’s hot.
