I ask this because I live in a country with the classic seasonal variation most peoples mind comes to if you say seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).

I enjoy the variety in activities and I am always happy once a season ends and a new one comes with new activities and especially vegies and fruits that come along that season.

Here in Germany I am always hyped for the next season to start and I enjoy all of them. Spring in April comes with Asparagus, Rhubarb, later on strawberries, … summer with fresh pears, cherries etc.

I could go on.

And not only speaking of food, also activities. Swimming in Summer, hiking in Autumn, Snowboarding in Winter, cycling and hiking in spring, swimming and stand up paddeling in summer and so on the cycle repeats every three to four months new activities.

I have been to SEA a lot and I like it there too but I couldn’t imagine a life without the seasons and I couldn’t imagine living in a place where it’s either dry season, wet season and so on.

Edit: I know people get use to where they live but I was in Australia once in my life during winter season and it just never felt like christmas. It always felt weird. I need the cold and rainy or snowy days here in Germany to make it feel like “winter, christmas”.

    I hate winter so like it here. We do have a wet hotter season and dry cooler season but mostly I hate that the whole idea of “seasons” is so unrelentingly European. Like any other place is wrong in some way. Our growing season is Fall through Spring but harvest related festivals are still in Fall here, even though nobody is harvesting a damn thing in late summer!

    Basically, like you grew up with some seasonal ideal, I grew up here so think of the cooler time as the fertile time, and the time we have concerts, state fair, and vacationers; the summer as the fallow time, we do have seasons.
