if he was dropped through a hole in the ice (similar to the one I jumped in last night for fun at a sauna party) then it is not so bad, the water is above 0 degrees (else it would be ice) and when the outside temperature is 20 - 30 degrees colder it helps remove alot of the shockcrus said:

One of the most interesting places I have visited is Iceland. There are many places on the island where very hot water erupts from underground. Near the airport in Keflavik, there's a famous spa. The natural outdoor pool contains water as hot as a bath. Some of my colleagues spent time in the pool during a blizzard. They said it was weird. Underwater, everything was blissfully warm. As their heads emerged above the surface, icicles formed in seconds.

Yeah, I let the thermodynamics of my Physics days drift out the window, it was funny though.

It's part of my day job. I just did a recount and, if I'm not mistaken, I've visited 61 countries. Some of them - such as India, Russia, Singapore, and Western European countries - I've visited many times. Others - such as Vietnam, PR of China, Moldova, Mozambique, and Bolivia - I've visited only once. I do have a rather eclectic mix of souvenirs from these various places.
It's a privilege and an education to travel, and I'd get itchy feet if I didn't; however, it's very tiring and can be quite tiresome. This week, for example, I was in Peru for 24 hours. After arriving home, I had to fly to Florida for a day. Tomorrow, I shall be travelling for 18 hours or more to get to my hotel in Suriname (including four flights through four countries on three different airlines), with a similar journey on Tuesday to get home. Then it's off to Canada. It sounds glamorous, but it's not.
If anyone at the forums ever has a question about international travel, do let me know. If I can't answer, I can generally point you to somewhere or to someone who can.

Well, since I have trouble explaining what I do, many of my friends do call me 008.creospace said:So you didnt answer what you do or if you simply answer the question 'do you have a licence to kill' we'll all havea good idea of why all the international travel
Seriously, I work for a large multinational company during the day. I focus on my own venture every evening and weekend. Hence the 100+ hour weeks.
