Our body is not made to withstand sudden temperature drops over a short period of time, and facing the harsh winter with just you normal sweater or long-sleeve jacket is a recipe for disaster.

If there is one golden rule you need to follow before going aboard for holidays or studies during winter, it would be this: Prioritise your winter apparel above everything else, as you would not want to be caught in a situation where you can barely walk yourself to the airport taxi without shivering.
