Winter in Hong Kong 香港的冬天

新屋先生十一月會來香港,昨天我們談及要帶的行李時,他問要不要帶厚衣服,還說也許要帶一雙手襪。
Mr New Houses is coming to Hong Kong in November and he asked if he has to bring some warmth clothes with him. Being sarcastic, he said he has to bring the gloves too. 

事原他上次來港時是十二月,是他第一次來亞洲。十二月是香港的冬天。由於天氣很冷,我便叮囑他要帶厚衣服。我還說”這裡凍到震”。當我這樣跟他說時沒有意識到他是歐洲人,而那邊的冬天比香港更冷,香港的冬天相對來說只是秋天。由那天起,”天氣”變成了我們間的笑話。
Last time when Mr New Houses came to Hong Kong, it was December. It was the first time he came to Asia and it was Winter time. As it was cold in winter, I remind him to bring some warmth clothes with him. I even said “It is freezing here.” But I didn’t realize at that point he is European and  the winter in Europe is much colder, the winter in Hong Kong is just an Autumn for him. Since then, “weather” became a joke between us.
