Or lack thereof.

In both Japan (Kansai area) and China (near SuZhou and Shanghai), I was a sweaty mess 1 second after leaving my apartment in July. I love this weather. It's pretty mild. I know it will get worse next month, but having only one month of horrid summer and the relatively nice winters here, I love it

It is a heck of a lot cooler in Korea this year than it was last year. Last year I had my air conditioner turned on at the end of June. This year I haven't even used it.

True. It has been absurdly mild this year. Not that I am complaining--no AC in the middle school, you see. (Also the mozzies have been nigh non-existent...)

But just wait for August...

I've been revelling in the cool weather, too. I'm just hoping we don't get paid back with interest in August.

I agree it isn't that bad this year. But I always sweat like a wilderbeast.

Anyone have any good suggestions on suppliments that you can take to control sweating?

The air con is needed, but I can't stand the damned noise it makes. Makes me appreciate the students who speak loud more.

I have the air con on right now, but I could probably turn it off since I have big windows on either end of the apartment. The nights are quite bearable with no air con. I use it sometimes to drown out outside noises in the morning.

I go on vacation soon. Hopefully I will escape the heatwave. The A/C didn't cast that much last year electricity wise, but who knows what it will be like this year. Anyone get an abnormally high electricity bill yet.

Yeah this year is lame. Last year and the year before it was definitely HOT this time of year. Now its just kinda warm.

I pulled a sicky today and spent the afternoon floating in an inner tube in the ocean drinking beer, and whilst enjoyable, I was wishing it was 5-10c hotter today.

consider yourselves lucky. record heat here in the USA this summer.
