Africa's a big place. Do you mean Algeria in the middle of the Sahara, the top of Kilamanjaro in Tanzania or the high veld in South Africa? |

It's generally hotter in South Africa in the hottest months...and it's way hotter over the rest of the year ...which is probably the coldest place in Africa.....so I'd say sure it's hotter in the rest of africa..
it's not hot in Korea...just a few humid months...you ought to try living in Thailand.... |

Try Windhoek in January or February and tell me if Korea's hot.
That being said, Africa's a big place, like another poster mentioned. |

THe hottest temperature ever recorded was in Libya at 57 degrees.
Temperature by itself doesn't mean much without factoring in the humidity factor..Still, 57 degrees. You won't live too long exposed in heat like that.
Thailand is hotter and more humid, no doubt, but for some reason it's a "nicer" heat. I don't know why. It feels like it's almost hard to breathe in Korea sometimes. Maybe it's not the heat but the pollution.

Nope, it's one country. Ask any of your students...they'll set the record straight.  |

| There's something about the Korean summer that just zaps the energy right out of me the way no other place I've lived has. After work I don't want to do anything but watch TV with A/C doing the best it can to cool down a house a bit too big for one A/C unit. |

Thailand it's hot all year (other than the coolish season)
Korea you get used to the cold then it heats up again. Taks about 3 months for your pores to open properly and let you cool. |

Mostly Canadians complain about the heat in Korea.
I'm from Virginia and +33C 100% humidity summers is a norm for us. We got mosquitoes that would eat Korean children whole. |

I am curious about those mosquitoes. I saw some MONSTER size ones when I was in Singapore...they were typically 10x the size of the ones i've seen here in Korea. |

I would've gone into a spiel and lectured about what I learned in Elementary School about longitude and latitude. I would've made great care to emphasize "ELEMENTARY SCHOOL" at every chance possible.

| Canadian mosquitos are farking terrible. They may not be terribly big, but they are the equivalent of 100 ajjumas swarming a 3,000 scarf table at Galleria. Watch out. |

I couldn't agree more...everyone is complaining how hot it is...HA...spend 27 summers in Florida with unbearable humidity...then you'll realize that Korean summers are a breeze...I just got back from Hong Kong...and it was way hotter there. Although, they do have a sub-tropical climate...reminded me of home. |
