that is obviously wrong....act is in the mountains, on a highland plateau, and is always colder than the coastal cities....
i pointed out the mistake here....
instead of admitting, you decided to challenge.....
i advise you should just correct the mistake instead of attempting of digging bigger holes....
the actual temperatures is point out here....a simple google will have reveal that.....by no stretch of imagination can 0c be considered 'not very cold'.....
where is my criticism 'false'?.....
it is best, if one is not familiar, not to make comments.....
Quite obviously you have never been to Canberra, or have never stayed for extended lengths of time. You merely present knowledge of geography and try to criticise others...
Colder than coastal cities, like Sydney, you say. What if I said Sydney was quite warm? Colder need only be a lower average temperature according to your notion that temperature is the main measure of "how cold a place is". That means is Canberra were 0.1C lower in its avg temp, it'd still be colder.
It's obviously colder at some times but not always... and I'm talking about cold as in how a person feels. A humid and sunny Canberra is warmer by a lot more than a windy and rainy Sydney, whatever season it is... take it from someone who knows.
Rather than spending time using metaphors about cavities, why not talk about something you actual have experience with or substantial knowledge about??

Member LightningFist, admit your mistake, and move on. This is not the place for you and limeuu to have your one-upmanship games.
Canberra is cold and dry during the winters, by almost any metric. Invest in a good skin moisturiser, and buy your winter clothing there. Cold and wet and cold and dry climates are quite different. but yes, the wind chill factor does add to the harshness.
An electric blanket for the nights would be a sound investment, and long johns for the times when its really windy and you really need to go out. Please don't be the typical M'sian who turns on the heater to full blast (assuming you can even afford it!) and sits around in shorts inside while its 10C outside!
2) Re. Internships: don't get your hopes too high. If you do get one good on you, but more likely than not you will not be able to get one, for the simple fact that you are limited to only working 20hrs/wk.
You may get some luck during the semester breaks, where you can work unlimited hours, but don't hold your breath.
I would, had I made a mistake. In my opinion it's not as cold as everyone seems to believe... there are factors such as sunlight, wind velocity, pressure, and humidity to consider, not just temperature... all I meant was, it might be cold to some, but not at all most of the time for others. Winter is a very loose notion if you consider that "winter" like temperatures (temperatures typical of winter) are not uncommon at all during non-winter periods. Again cold and warm is relative.
Cold is relative, not absolute. It is the absence of warmth.
