It is sufficiently cold outside that typing – even inside and with frequent handblows – is really tedious and uncomfortable because the tips of my fingers keep going numb. I am not complaining, because I am grateful to have a warm place to work, but it just makes me think about how freaking cold it is outside.
And yet, the Russian city of Yakutsk is like this seven months out of the year! 300,000 people live there! How do they do it?
