I’ve had a Russian co-worker too, and the thing that stood out about him to me is how much he hated the cold. He came from a city that can get six feet of snow on the ground overnight. Here he would bundle up in a coat, hat, scarf and gloves on a day when I would just roll my shirt sleeves down.
Coming from another place that regularly gets 6 feet of snow and where it is cold as fuck. I perfectly understand him, the cold suckes. I strongly dislike anything below 10C.
Coming from a place that regularly got triple digit temperatures I’m not a fan of hot. I think when you move to a more temperate climate you realize what you were missing and don’t want to be tortured further :)

I’m Dutch, we have 50 words for rain, and 49 start with some version of “fucking”.
