Yeah, why not challenge oneself in the worst conditions. Cold winter and un-social people, but luckily there are many more people, who like to think out of the box. The weird part of this kind of living is, that no matter where one goes, with the right intentions there is noneed for worries about the future. That's one of the big problems in the current way of thinking, nobody knows what's gonna happen and one cannot change the past, but still most misery comes from from worrying about either one.
