This morning the temperature is getting kind of low and the air around is cold outside, seem like Fall Season is finally here and the temperature making everyone realize the time of the year is here again, even though official summer time end last week. Very soon, all these trees and plants are going to begin going into hibernation mode and their leaves will be fallen off, leave behind pile of yellowish leaf on the ground, only the trunk and branches on left standing alone. No more birds and butterflies, insects and spiders, squirrels and rodents can be spotted hanging around our garden, all will go into hiding and hibernation until the first sign of spring arrive next year. It is so depressing and Autumn is taken all the fun of living away from us. So what do you think, my friends, do you also feel that Autumn is boring and depressive to a person mood, you prefer the Summer or Spring, or even Winter more like everyone else., or you like Autumn more than everything. let's hear what's you have to say from your inner feeling about the four seasons of the year.

Hi lampar, I wouldn't call the changing of the season depressing. Because each seasons has its own interesting things to do and see. I just adapt to what ever season it is. They are all intriguing to me. I like the comfortable feeling of Autumn and Fall. I like the cozy feeling of winter. I like the fresh feeling of spring and the lazy feeling of summer.

Hi Lamps I'm awake early this morning and thought I might catch my friend before he retired to bed. Yes our Autumn has arrived as well but this year it's a little late about one month later than normal. Our summer time ends this weekend with the clocks going back on Saturday. We still have some birds through the winter but the starlings that arrive from Africa are massing and returning, it's too chilly for them. Foxes and badgers will still be about not that you see too much of them anyway as they are nocturnal. It seems as though you suffer from SAD it's a seasonal disorder when you become depressed in winter. I'm afraid our summers are not that good so we normally get plenty of rain and cloudy windy days right through, so we ought to suffer from SAD all year through. I guess that's why Brits. like to jet off to the Mediterranean for two weeks in the summer but with prices rising that might not happen so much now. Fewer people are going to Greece which was always a popular destination, I guess that does not help their financial situation.

Hello, my friend! Yes, i noticed that trend, Brit. like to take vacation to tropical resorts like Malaysia, Thailand , Singapore, Indonesia, Mediterranean , Bahamas and Falkland Island too. ( last one is just a joke.) I just don't know it is summer season that Brit. like to do that. I am seriously doubt that Brit. suffer from SAD too like me, they sure like to travel abroad to have fun and enjoy their life to the max., but nowsaday travelling abroad can cost quite a fortune and burn a big hole inside your pocket and bank account. Look at all these rising airplane ticket prices and the various type of outrageous miscellaneous fees come with it. I can still observe few birds around, they haven't extinct totally from sight yet, but the number drop drastically as week passing by. But once the tree turn to bald branches, no more leaf hanging from them, then every bird is gone and even the insect are hard to spot. Our tree are changing color now, may be another month or so, all will begin to drop. More depressing scene for me. lol!! Greece need more than Brit. tourists to bail them out of all their financial mess, it is waiting for whole Eurozone members especially the rich one like Germany and France to solve their indiscriminate over spending and fiscal woes. If they willingly accumulate so much debt, they should at least make to suffer the consequences for some time before Eurozone bail them out, instead of quickly rush to their rescue and bail out their debt. Greek government need to look into its own lack of control spending habit and be held accountable for their own irresponsible policy, not take the easy way out to wait for other paying off their debt. Germany and France are worried that the crisis will cause big Euro currency fall, in turn will hurt their current account and foreign account reserve fund in a big way. It is a tough call for German chancellor and French President.

British Pound has remained strong as usual so far. I will say that the Greek's debt has lesser impact on UK, may be the effect is more on the side of trading volumn between both countries rather than financial assets. I also read about that, my friend, Greece's financial crisis need more $$$ in the amount of few more B... to contain it, and prevent from going into default. China may have to buy some of the Greece's bond and treasury bill in its bargain with Eurozone, in return for more access into EU market. I'm sure China will realize that any financial instability in Eurozone, it will feel the pinch too since it export to the region will be hurting. There is no easy answer on Greece's high debt since the created fiscal mess is so huge and its economy policy is highly irresposible over the years. It is always easy for these high debt (suc*er) nations to pile up their debts, while expecting other to bail them out and solve their woes.

I don't know how closely you follow the Euro debt crisis but Spain and Italy are in trouble as well and if they fail then we all fall in. As you suggest china probably needs the trade with Europe but just how far their prepared to go is an unknown at present.

we dont have that season in the Philippines, i thought i will be catching it on Japan but we are still waiting for a few more documents before leaving. guess i will still be here for my son's trick or treat. i guess in our country where there is only 2 season that is boring than you guys experiencing 4 seasons. i did enjoy the snow during winter at Japan but just because it was just for a few days... i am not sure if it is fun if it will be snowing all month... that would be very hard for people who commutes everyday.

Hi, my friend, yes ! it is hard to commute if it is snowing, it's also good business season for the automobile body shop, there are always many collision and accident happen during winter, especially if the street is fill with thin layer of ice, it is extremely difficult to control the steering of the wheel. Four season is just su*k, i wish i live in a land where there is only two season like Summer and Spring only. The best time of the year in here. If you only have to live few days instead of few months with snow, i am sure it is quite interesting and fun, but other than that, it is a misery and pain dealing with the snow for months. Winter is just too cold to do anything including commuting, except making love. hahaha...

May be next time you will get your wishes full fill, there are still plenty of opportunity ahead, the time will come after your band begin to reach the Japanese top pop music chart of the year, then you can travel to Japan on a constant basic, with your wife during Summer as well as Winter. When that happen, you can tell the hotel reservation clerk there is no need for electric blanket and pillow anymore whenever you check in your room. You have to put up with that for the time being. har har har..... Children will be very exciting seeing all the snow the first time, you can count on that for sure, your son probably will have the best time of his life if he can play with the snow during his winter visit to Japan.
