It makes the world around you come to a still-stand and all the sounds are muffled. I remember before I came to Thailand I used to have to get up at three in the morning to free the parking lots and walkways as part of my Job as a landscape- gardener. Working outside all day in winter was often quite a challenge. <br \/>Here in Thailand the heat is climbing. Today the prediction is 37 degrees. What a difference. I haven&#8217;t seen snow for the last five years. My children said they want to see snow. So we will see if we can make that happen while we&#8217;re in Switzerland in Juli. To all of you in Switzerland.
