Having born in the western part of India and then subsequently hardly ever seeing temperatures below 24°C my tolerance to cold is abysmal. And the previous attempts when I did go to colder places like in cold classrooms or in the summer in cold places, it was a nightmare for me.
This time around, I made it to some of the coldest places in Central Europe in the dead of winter and survived to tell you guys the tale. The average temperatures were -1° to -3°C and the coldest I survived was -9°C. Now before I start, this is how I mostly looked during the entire trip:
Covered from head to toe except for a small slot for my eyes to see where am I going. I pretty much made sure that not a single body part was exposed. And then, for the parts that were covered, I made sure that I had several layers. On an average (warm day of a -1°C) I was 5 layers of woolens and thermals. And on particularly cold days, I went up-to 7 layers.
And like a true Oscar award winner, I would like to thank Uniqlo for making amazing winter clothes and Timberland for making shoes that could survive the cold and provide me the grip on slippery surfaces. Finally I would love to thank Mumbai and Singapore for being warm and sunny so that I can just wear a shorts and t-shirt and comfortably walk around.
