I really dislike the cold. In 1991 I lived for a year in Sydney Australia. Every winter since then I keep wondering why I came back. Then in 2006 we attended the Annual National Sweepstakes Convention in Scottsdale Arizona. I now say I want to move to Arizona as I was happy in the daily 110+ degree heat. That said, I would never enter the following contest. Not to meantion the fact that the grand prize is a trip HERE!

Participants of a winter competition clothed in beach wear sit in beach chairs in temperatures around the freezing point at the water’s edge of the famous landmark ‘Aussenalster’ in Hamburg, northern Germany, on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010. A Hamburg radio station awards the participant that endures the icy temperature the longest with a trip to Canada.
