Vladivostok by Braille Russia’s winter heat

By Cedric Gras 11/16/07 09:47 PM
In Russia I have never suffered from cold but paradoxically from the heat – a dry, arid, enervating, irritating heat. It is an atmosphere of unbearable summer nights which every time reminds me of hot summer days in the south of France during my childhood or the furnaces beneath the tents in the mountains all of the world, when the sunrays start to pierce immediately after the fresh dawn and awake us in sweat. When I was a child I swore a hundred times that I preferred the polar ice to the burning puffs of July and dark clouds to all these cloudless skies of a desiccated blue, almost faded by the sun.
