Coming Home After Work - And It Is Still Bright Outside

From Taiwan I am used to coming home after work in the dark. One reason of course are the long working hours, but another is the fact that even in the Summer it gets dark already around 7PM. Now here in Germany I actually can enjoy a couple more hours of daylight after work. Of course we get off work earlier, but also it gets dark later than in Taiwan. Especially in the Summer, when it gets dark only between 9 PM and 10 PM. And even now we have bright sunlight until almost 8 PM. The difference is of course not due to magic, but due to the different position of the countries in relation to the equator, but it is still something I am very pleased about. And it makes up somewhat for the crappy, cold weather.

  1. I was so excited about the long bright when the first time I visited Germany few years ago.

  2. Yeah, it is pretty cool. And soon it will be warmer - BBQ time in Germany. BBQ in daylight until 9 PM or later.
