In most parts of the world, –10°C is cold. Where I grew up… it was –71°C. In that kind of cold, even a small mistake could be fatal — like leaving the house without hat, or getting stuck in a frozen car on the way home. But for me, this was normal. And today, I’ll share some stories that seemed normal to us — but might sound crazy to you.
