I grew up in southern Vietnam; the concept of winter was always a distant, almost mythical idea. We had only two seasons: dry and wet, both bathed in ample sunshine. Moving to Finland, therefore, was a plunge into an entirely different reality, a world of short days, long nights, and a kind of cold I had never truly experienced.
