I was just strolling on the old belts below the Southern part of the city, when a defective airlock opened and the outside cold air just blew in. Cold, humid and fresh. And some snowflakes too.

It’s -9′ Celsius (15 Fahrenheit) outside, it’s the first day of April and almost all of Southern Europe is still under a 3cm (1 inch) blanket of snow. Those living in the open city are pretty miserable right now, but here everything is cosy and warm.

Singing ‘Why so cold’ for myself in the elevators. It’s an old Code ABC song, but it suits just fine. Hope this year the summer will last at least one month. I want to be able to visit New Cleveland when they hatch open through the snow in July.

Taking the train now to there from Bruxelles via Moscow and Anchorage and Seattle is just not worth it. 2000 credits for what? Seeing the same domed city like here? Nah.

Will wait for the summer… It’s faster and cheaper by spaceplane.
