| I told them today to put on the air con or I am coming with shorts on. They think I am joking. Our school is a sauna today and I am wearing jeans and a dress shirt. Tomorrow its going to be board shorts and a t-shirt. I can handle hot weather but humidity kiils me for some reason. |

Focus your chi to cool yourself off. |

I feel exactly the same way. Thankfully I only have to teach two lessons today and three tomorrow, so I think I can manage, even if I'm going home at lunch to change (dress) shirts. |

Good man - show these wankers who you are!
Sing a song in class (I forgot the thread on here I got it from but it was pretty hilarious)
'Today is hot but DD is not' whilst doing a fan dance!
No surrender!  |

| I think if I put one of the students pink hello kitty fans around my neck the air con would be on 10 minutes later. I could also wear a pair of those adidas shorts from the 70's where the balls hang out when someone sits down. |

As I regularly exercise quite strenuously I find that just sitting around an office doesnt cause me to break out in sweat.
RIght now wearing a polo shirt, khakis and dress shoes. Feelin' fine.
Perhaps the OP needs to get more exercise. |

The Chi idea is a good one. Not many believers in practicing this, but it does work. Since working in oriental medicine for the past several years, I discovered there are many ways to make a small adjustment that work quite nicely. People are right though, the humidity can be unbearable if you are not prepared for it. Welcome to Korean summers.  |

Jeans is probably the problem.
They are normally too hot to wear around this time of the year during daylight hours. Thickness of socks is a major factor in how hot you feel.
Wearing lightweight trousers and short, thin socks makes things very bareable. Western style heavy jeans nearly killed when I first came.
The aircon probably won't be on till July.
Today's outside real-feel temp is about 35C here.
Rainy season is forecast to start tomorrow for two weeks so things may cool down till July.
ps- I think slack trousers keep you cooler when outside, as they protect your legs from the strong sunlight. |

I get my exercise in and I am having trouble knowing how exercise and feeling hot in humidity have much of a relationship. Judging by the geek in the pic you had before you better get lot's of exercise.
I think that different parts of Korea have different humidity levels. It feels like about 80% here today. One kid just puked after lunch because of the heat. Dry heat I love but humidity kills me. |
