I was surprised to see a winter goods shop in the local mall here the other day. Considering there is no winter here (just rainy season), it was a bit incongruous to see woolly hats and heavy jackets on sale in a country where the temperature never falls below the low 20s Celsius.
This would be akin to a shop selling summer clothes in Ireland!!!! The rationale behind it, according to herself, is that it's for people passing through or going to colder destinations. I wouldn't have expected enough traffic for it to be sustainable, but obviously there is. I suppose it's akin to a ski shop in Ireland, although I'm not aware of any shop totally devoted to skiing in Dublin.
