36 degree weather today!!!

Crazy......

It reminds me of living in Japan, although because we are so high up in the mountains - the temperature drops greatly once the sun goes down.

This means on some days we end up with highs of 35 - 38C and lows of 12 -15C .

Colorado really is a wonderful place.
The people here are so nice and friendly, and the politeness reminds me of when living in Japan. One big difference though is that in Japan people would often speak to us because we were obviously foreign. When a friend from China came to visit Japan she didn't get the same treatment that we did. 

Here I find that people will come and say 'Hi!' and come and speak to us, assuming we are just American locals. It is not until we talk and they hear our British accents that they are so surprised and we engage in a nice, friendly conversation. 

Despite the ridiculous comments that people routinely make about America, China and the people there - these are HUGE countries. One American state can be bigger than my entire country. So to generalise ALL people across the whole of these countries is a narrowminded and ignorant thing to do.

(Another 'take a book, leave a book' stand in a local street. What a lovely idea! Share books that have benefitted your life with others, so that they can experience the joy and wisdom that they brought you)

Personally here in Boulder I have found it to be incredibly peaceful, friendly, polite and most of all - tolerant and accepting of ALL types of people from all background, nationalities, faiths and sexual orientation.

I think we fit in very well here!
