    I'm curious about this 4 seasons thing as I cant wrap my head around it.

    By 4 seasons do they mean 4 obviously discernale seasons or the naming.

    I mean one can argue that Australia has two seasons, but we still follow the 4 season model of Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. When Japanese asked me if Australia has four season I would always reply that of course we did.
