Keeping Warm ・ 暖かく過ごしゆー
I love that Hidaka's winters are mild, there's rarely heavy snow, almost never sleet or ice, and hardly ever sub-zero temperatures. That's not to say its warm here of course, and with the comparatively little insulation in my apartment here I still FEEL cold.
People often ask me if America is cold in the winter. That's like asking if Asia is cold in the winter. It's difficult to answer in such a broad sense, and it also depends on your perspective. Anyway, I've been keeping busy making crafts and exercising, and that busy mindset goes a long way towards keeping me warm. How do you keep warm?
日高村の暖冬が好き、滅多に大雪降らないし、霙や氷はあまり問題ないし、気温はほとんど零度以下下がらないね。まあ、暖かいとは多分言わん。ここのアパートはアメリカの家と比べたら断熱が薄いから、まだ寒く感じる。
よく「アメリカの冬は寒いですか?」と聞かれるけど、それは「アジアの冬は寒いですか?」みたいな質問だから、一般的に答えるのが難し、そして、立場によって全然違う。とにかく、私はこの冬、運動と物作りで自分の体を温めている、活発的にしたら、寒さに強いと思う。皆のほうはどうやって寒いじきを過ごすでしょうか?
