Re: Preparing for a Cambodian Winter
A former colleague of mine is married a girl from Cuba and they live in Scandinavia. His mother in-law came to visit with them in the autumn, on leaving she swore that she would rather go to prison than to go back to such a cold country. Lord knows what she would have thought of the winter there.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 12:07 pmHer first response was to buy plastic super high heel pumps so her feet wouldn’t touch the cold ground. I told her to give those uncomfortable, dangerous slippers to her fashionable sister.Doc67 wrote:If I were you I would keep very quiet about 4 degrees and what that actually means. If she realises that it will be like stepping into a walk in fridge whenever she leave a building she may change her mind about the whole deal.
Fait accompli...
Temperature is only that low near midnight when the flight arrives. Otherwise 17 degrees C during the day.
Plus she gets a reason to use these clothes she bought for Taiwan (subtropical country), where she was preparing for low temperatures of 16 degrees C.

It just goes to show they have nothing better to do apart from lounge about drinking, shooting their guns in the air (or the odd wife or girlfriend in the head) and pose for ceremonial Facebook fodder.

Re: Preparing for a Cambodian Winter
That's a timely reminder that I should pack some winter clothes for my next trip.
Re: Preparing for a Cambodian Winter
15 degrees is a nice summer day here in Norway. Minus 15 degrees is a normal winter night.
During my army days we slept outside in tents in minus 40 degrees for several days. And yes, You will need a good winter jacket for that.

Re: Preparing for a Cambodian Winter
Does that mean the quartermaster is out of a job, or is he still in his office, sleeping one off, and otherwise ambivalent about the changing seasons?
UnInteresting side note- the non uniform shade of uniform greens.
One wonders idly how many SUVs were mobilised to get every important person to this parade.
