This January I ridiculed my friend from London. On simple issue. He was telling me that the city activity is usually paralyzed when thermometers show few degrees below zero and snow falls from the sky. "Oh man, - I laughed, - in Belarus you would become extinct soon! Nothing stops even at -25С!". He just hemmed and we changed the topic.
