Subj : Test To : Anton Sumenkov From : Nicolaas Hawkins Date : Wed Aug 02 2000 10:46 am Hello, Anton ... You wrote to me on Sunday 23 July 2000 about "Test" : NH>> No, I do not know Russia at all. AS> Hm.. Baikal is the 2th famouse lake after Michigan OK NH>> Where I live is Wellington, which is the NH>> capital city of my country. AS> And I live in Capital our Republic :) NH>> It is at the bottom of the North Island. AS> What can you see about climate? Winter (we are in winter now in the Southern Hemisphere) here is cool with a fair amount of rain, sometimes enough to cause flooding in some places. Daytime temperatures from about 7C up to about 14-15C, most days get up to 10C or more. Night temperatures can go as low as 2-3C, perhaps a little lower. We have some frosts here but it does not often get cold enough for snow. We sometimes get very cold winds from the south, which come from Antarctica. Summer is warm to very warm and fairly dry (but with some rain). Daytime temperatures are usually around 18-22C, but can go as high as 28-29C. Night temperatures are usually about 10-15C but can drop to about 7-8C sometimes. Most of our summer winds come from the north, and are fairly warm. For me, I am comfortable in 15-20C, I am too hot at more than about 23C (and bad-tempered as well!), and I am cool at 12C, cold at about 9C. NH>> Yes, I have Internet - it is good, but it I do not think it is NH>> better than Fido. Internet and FidoNet do different things in NH>> many ways, and have a different reason for being. I think Fido NH>> is a lot more friendly - in Fido I have a feeling of being part NH>> of a big family. On Internet it feels that I am very much on my NH>> own. AS> I think so too... AS> There are a lot of bad people in Internet. Not all people on the Internet are bad people, though - and there are a lot of bad people in other places as well.
