From the land where the sun never sets.



Its crazy here I tell you. We are all the way down south, yet the sun only sets at midnight. When it does, its rays never go beyond the horizon, they light the sky with a pale glow. Its so bright you can never see the stars, and night rays stream into your room even with your curtains closed (you can read with the light). And after only 4 hours of dark, the sun rises again at 4, determined not to let the world miss its presence. Furthur up north in the artic circle the sun never sets for the whole of summer, a day is 2 months long.



Its even crazier in the winter, when the sun never rises. And the night sky is lit up with eerie multi-coloured glow sweeping across the skies called aurora borealis.



Anyway, its unbelievably hot here. People here wear short sleeves and tanks. I think its global warming.
