There will be better weather this weekend actually. But it seems like it's only getting warmer, and still raining. Our city is actually known of the "Rain city", and this proves it well.

Yes, you are right. And I love that there is a huge cultural differences too :D I don't like to travel far by flight. I traveled to Brazil 6 years ago: 18-19 hour flight. And have now planned a roadtrip with two friends in California and Nevada next summer, and I'm starting to dread. Haha. But I'm much more prepared this time.
