Actually I do truly miss the four seasons. In my home town, Wellington- New Zealand- often we got 4 seasons in one day! The green in nice- I have to say I never thought there were so many shades and textures of green. One of my favourite trips is doing Java by train- the trip from Jakarta to Bandung- or to Yogyakarta goes through miles and miles of sawah (rice fields) and accross some breath taking mountain passes. All the way you see- green, green and more green! The coffee growing areas are a wee bit different- there you also get smokey, hazey blues.
