8 below – Australian culture (Part2)

Posted On Juli 17, 2007
Juli 17, 2007

Es regnet in Strömen und scheint gar nicht aufhören zu wollen. In der Wohnung sind es gefühlte – 8 Grad und meine Zehen spüre ich, trotz dicker Norwegersocken, nicht mehr.
Draußen sind es ungefähr 6 Grad, und es gewitterte vorhin aus allen Kanonenrohren. Jeder der ein Gewitter am Meer einmal miterlebt hat, weiss welche Höllenängste ich gerade ausstehen musste. Und dann kam…. man glaubt es kaum… HAGEL!!! Unfassbar!

Hagelkorn

(Eines der Hagelkörner vor meiner Tür)

 

Wer diese Sätze liest wird unweigerlich denken, ich lebe im kältesten Land der Welt, oder der Post ist versehentlich zeitlich im Archiv verrutscht. Aber niemand, NIEMAND wird mir glauben, dass ich gerade in Down Under an meinem Laptop sitze. Das Land, von dem man glaubt es sei ewig Sonnenschein und immer 40 Grad am Tag. Pah! Das dachte ich auch einmal!

Ok, der Fairness halber muss man sagen, dass ich am südlichsten Ende von AUS wohne – in Melbourne und es dort immer ein gutes Stück kälter ist, als im Rest des Landes. Selbst im Sommer ist das so. Wobei man sich dann dennoch über 38 Grad und mehr erfreuen kann (mehr oder weniger). Deswegen sind die Wohnungen hier meistens recht luftig konstruiert. Sprich, es zieht in allen Ecken und man fühlt wie der Wind an den Füßen weht. Isolierung – ein Fremdwort!

Und doch sieht man trotz der Kälte draußen teilweise Leute Flip Flops, oder Ballarina Flats (ohne Strümpfe) tragen. Oben dick verpackt und unten fast barfuß. Am Wochende ein ähnliches Spiel. Man geht weg und alle australischen Mädels tragen Sandalen und dünne Kleider, meist rückenfrei, oder ähnliches. Keine Jacken, keine Nylons, nichts!!! Ich verstehe es nicht. Es ist mir unbegreiflich! Und deswegen habe ich neulich einen Selbsttest gestartet.

Ich zog mich warm an – Strickkleid, Leggins, Mütze, Schal – nur die Füße waren einfach nur mit Ballerinas bekleidet (keine Socken!!!).
Und dann ging ich zum Bäcker und in den Supermarkt. Insgesamt dauerte meine Mission vielleicht 30 min, doch als ich wieder zu hause war hatte ich das Gefühl Eisklumpen statt Füße zu haben. So viel zu diesem Versuch…

Doch als ich neulich beim Live Earth Konzert war, entdeckte ich des Rätsels Lösung. In der Reihe vor mir *ja ich gestehe, ich hatte einen Sitzplatz ;-) * saß eine Familie mit zwei kleinen Kids. Vielleicht 4 und 9 J. Und als die Sonne weg war, war es nun wahrlich ziemlich kühl. *Es war ein Open Air* Doch weder Mutter, noch Vater dachten daran ihren Kindern Strümpfe anzuziehen.
Es wird sogar noch besser!! Der Junge hatte sogar kurze Hosen an!!! Und genau da machte es bei mir Klick! Australier weigern sich einfach anzuerkennen, dass es in ihrem Land auch einmal kalt werden kann. Und aus dem Grund werden Kinder schon ganz früh kälteresistent gemacht. Das erklärt auch weshalb es in den meisten Wohnungen keine Heizung gibt!

Simple Lösung!!! Wenn man das den Eskimos erzählen würde, müssten die Ärmsten auch nicht immer in diesen hässlichen Felljacken und Stiefeln rumlaufen! Aber vielleicht liest ja einer der Eskimos diesen Bericht… *grins*

Und jetzt da ich den Post fertig habe, scheint draußen auch wieder die Sonne und die Vögel quietschen munter. Verrücktes Melbourne!!!

    I simply wanted to thank you so much all over again. I do not know the things I might have worked on without the actual secrets revealed by you regarding such theme. It has been a horrifying condition in my opinion, but looking at a skilled style you treated it took me to weep over contentment. I’m happy for the support and have high hopes you recognize what a powerful job you happen to be undertaking teaching men and women thru your blog post. I am sure you haven’t come across any of us.

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now
    each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Thank you!

  4. Blair   23. Januar 2023 13:02

    An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I do think that you need to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but typically
    people do not discuss these issues. To the next! Best wishes!!

    Having an interior designer is incredibly important since they have the knowledge and experience to help transform a space into something functional and aesthetically pleasing. Interior designers know how to balance colour, texture, furniture, and other design elements to create the desired look. They are creative problem solvers and can work their magic in any space from small closets to large outdoor decks. With an expert’s eye for detail, your own ideas can be refined and executed perfectly, elevating your space both functionally and aesthetically. Thank you for providing this content and helping us recognize the importance of hiring an interior designer!
