It's beach weather  I'm an eight-minute walk from this clean water river (in my signature), flowing down from the Jiri Mountains, with no cities inbetween. When it gets really hot I jump in the river! |

Dis so warm dat die hond die kat jaag, maar beide loop!
Hace un calor de mil demonios!
Quina calor que fa! Estic mort de calor!
De mussen vallen van de daken.
On niin kuumaa, kuin saunassa!
Panasnya kayak di neraka!
Atsui!
Kakva vrucina!

As for me, I stay hunkered down in my one room dormitory with the AC kicking out cool air.
It's like I'm living in my own nuclear fallout shelter. Since I'm on break for the summer I have no need to go outside, so I stay inside pretty much. But when I do go out, when I open the door and put on my shoes, the first wave of hot, muggy air makes me reconsider and confirm to myself that this trip out of the house is, in fact, necessary.
However, I was at the immigration office and they had only one AC unit for the whole room full of about 70 people. It was useless, about as useless as a no smoking sign at an outdoor electric rail station. Even though it was oppressively hot, just relaxing and standing still, breathing slowly, and trying to keep a smile on my face, I wasn't too terribly defeated by the heat during the hour and a half that I stood there. |

As my Mom always said "It's not the heat, it's the humidity"! And she was right! Today was a LOT more humid than it has been...which makes us poor slobs without AC feel a LOT hotter!
Another good reason for livin' in the country! Those huge clusters of concrete buildings sure hold in the heat!! |

My girlfriend can't understand why I sweat so much in this heat.
I can't understand why she doesn't. |

The morning paper says a typhoon is coming today. Maybe it will break the heat.
We can only hope. |

| I might have to buy an aircon... don't know how to install, or how much it will cost. Twill be a headache, but probably not worse than bearing the summer. |

You don't need to know. The company does it.
Just go down to your local LG (or whatever), walk in and say, "Air con. Ji-gum!" They'll have it installed by the time you get home from work. |

On a related note: can anyone remember when the cicadas stop their racket? It's already driving me nuts....(ugly suckers, too) |
They really add to the torture, don't they? I mentioned this to my students and they looked at me like "huh?" I suppose they just get used to the constant racket of those bugs. Back home we have cicadas, but here it's like living next to an air port. |

Last night was the first night we slept without even the fan on. Naked, but no fan. And no sweaty pillows in the morning.
The temperature in the Sweat Lodge at 1 o'clock last night was 29�, the first time it's not been 31� in living memory. [Edit: "living memory" apparently stretches back no further than 11 Aug.  ] At 8 o'clock this morning it had dipped to a frosty 27�. 27�!!! Brrrrr!
Forget global warming, we're headed for a New Ice Age!!!
