My appointment at the hospital for a minor procedure yesterday left me so embarrassed I put the blue paper towel protecting the bed in the bin myself, so the nurse wouldn't see it. Hot in the UK? It's just not the same as hot in Dubai, let me tell you..Vicki Attoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90764656348295445.post-2111584083956926552010-06-29T22:11:39.025-04:002010-06-29T22:11:39.025-04:00I can relate to The American when he says that Cal...I can relate to The American when he says that California is better weather-wise! It was just so nice in LA, especially if you live on higher alttitude than the city, with a view towards the Pacific! That was paradise for me. <br /><br />However, take in consideration of Japan, where I live now. The normal day commuting is similar to wearing your business suit in a sauna, with other people in same condition standing nose to nose to you, all PACKED up with no ventilation, for, say a tiny hour? It's no better once you step off the train, either. It is SO soaking wet in the air, you can let loose a fish in it and I guarantee you it will swim its way back to the ocean. I myself sometimes ponder if I've developed gills, to be alive in this heavy, damp moist.<br /><br />That is also due to the fact that along with being in a climate zone of hot and damp summers, we are in our rainy seasons to top that. Rainy season! Sounds very Asian. Very wet-rice culture, indeed. <br /><br />So if The American continues to complain about the hot weather in NY, he should imagine about suddenly being transfered to a Tokyo office! That still is better than being stationed in Singapore of Hong Kong, but it is no less a torment to the dry air lover. <br /><br />Tatsuya_TOKYO (twitter account)<br /><br />PS I'm having difficulty signing up on the "Comment as", so I'll post anonymous regretfully.

Last time I was in NYC was July 2007 and the heat was a killer. And I remember perfectly the smell of warmed-up-refuse from the streets. Yuck.<br /><br />I must say that weatherwise I prefer San Francisco since it's mostly lukewarm and that's my optimum temperature. Why can't it be lukewarm everywhere?!Marie Irshadhttp://www.scifiville.comnoreply@blogger.com
