Intro

Go Super to Listen Go Super!

If it’s windy, a day that looks sunny and nice when you’re sitting inside can be a different story once you go outside. Strong wind often makes it feel colder. It can also mess up your hair! On the other hand, a cool breeze can feel great, especially on a hot day. Plus, you can’t fly a kite or go windsurfing without a little wind.

Yeah, a cool breeze is everything you need in a hot weather. I was so grateful for getting some in Jamaica. It was pretty strong, but warm. The breeze there always blows onshore during the day and offshore at night. It blew my hat off a couple of times. But one thing is negative about it - because of the wind, the sea was pretty rough – you didn’t see the ocean life. The water was combined with sand and weeds, and you could hardly see your hand underwater. Once something bumped into me while i was swimming. I was so scared that paddled quick towards the shore. Interesting, when you’re scared, your skills are paralyzed and you move frantically but not swim. Yeah, winds close to the equator are the strongest… Thank God, the Earth rotates, the Sunlight energy is still in power and the atmospheric circulation is not static. The life’s going on!

Anja, hello,  yeah, I agree, only that  whenever I go to have a hair cut  I feel that I was cheated  by the guy that did  the job. He charges me full rates  ,i think that this is not fair. Frown

I can only enjoy an outing to the beach  if  there is only a mild breeze ,otherwise  I  prefer going somewhere else .Unlike Anja I don´t have to deal with a messy hair , my hair has  years ago “gone with the wind”  , maybe from that  comes my dislike  for it.   heheheheCry

Actually,now in china is winter,in my city,it’s very cold in winter,so i hate the wind in winter,sunshine maybe nice and warm,if you go out with strong wind,you have to wear so much,so you can not move easily,you feel your face like knife cut and it’s tough to wear more stable for your hat,also ,you hand and your foot feel more cold,as for me ,if windy in winter i prefer staying in home and don’t want to go out ,watching TV and plan some video games in home ,but in summer , i like go out and hate staying in home,and i like windy in summer also if there have breeze at dusk,also more funning ,you can sit in your yard and enjoy the breeze touch your face.

Wind gives me good mood.Wind makes me feel relax. Expecially when I walk  around the river at night, with the gentle moon, with the cool wind, it’s so terrific. You can have a deep breath with your eyes closed and enjoy the touch of wind. I enjoy this feeling. Have a try.
