Comparing Cooler Climates and the Tropics: Each Has its
Pros and Cons |
|
The debate between those who prefer cooler climates and those who enjoy the
tropics has been ongoing for a long time. It's difficult to say which is better
since both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The cooler climates of the northern and southern hemispheres offer picturesque
scenery, particularly during winter with the snow and winter landscapes that
create a white, Christmassy feel. The golden hues of autumn and falling leaves
are also a beautiful sight to see, while summer is the perfect time to hit the
beach and spring is a time for renewal with blooming flowers and crops being
planted. The crux of cooler climates is variety, as different plants and animals
show off their plumage and fashion trends can vary.
The tropics, on the other hand, offer one long summer with intermittent rain.
Fashion in the tropics is all about being light, comfortable, and colorful.
There's little need for heavier clothing unless you're in a hill station or
desert where the temperature can drop significantly at night. Raincoats and
umbrellas are essential in the tropics, but trench coats and sweaters are not.
You have the freedom to go out and stay out for as long as you like, hit the
beach anytime of the year, and see a movie without having to change your clothes
or tires. A fan or air conditioner is enough to survive the heat.
However, if you talk to a Londoner or a Russian living in the cold climates of
the north, they might complain about the high cost of winter heating, clothing,
and the hassle of fitting snow tires. The wealthy can escape to warmer climates,
but the poor suffer from sludge, mud, and snow-ins. Going out in the cold is a
struggle, with slippery roads and icy winds requiring special shoes and heavy
clothing. While activities like skating and snowboarding provide some
consolation, when the weather drops below minus, even these activities become
impossible.
In conclusion, each climate has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it
ultimately comes down to personal preference. The cold is not for everyone, and
some people don't enjoy the heat, but the cost and adaptability to the
environment are factors that can influence one's decision-making process. |
