Swimming in Russia

by Yasufumi
(Saitama, Japan)

Russia is located in north Asia. It is in the very north. So the weather in Russia is very, very cold. But people in Russia are swimming in the middle of winter. This is because January 6 is Epiphany.

This day is very important for Christians. And if you are swimming in very cold water, you can be a part of nature and you can greet the New Year with a beautiful baby.

But I think that it is so crazy.
