Being from North Carolina, I am used to hot weather. That wonderful drenched in sweat as soon as you walk outside kind of hot. It feels like that here. Most of the places I lived growing up were hot... or at least had hot summers; California desert, Southern Maryland and New Orleans. These places you adjusted what you wore based on the weather, shorts and light t-shirts are the norm when the temperature rises above about 75-80 degrees (except for my brief time in Michigan, where anything above 25 degrees is shorts weather). Here in Singapore I don't see that as much. Most people I see on the streets here are wearing jeans, long sleeved shirts and some even wearing light coats. Kate's co-workers here have told her that after about a month you get used to it and don't even notice the heat. I don't think that would be the case for me. I love warm weather but I just cant see myself walking around in jeans and long sleeves when it is sunny, 85 degrees and humid. Check out this link for info on the Singaporean climate.
Stay cool!

Yup! It's hot here! I sure do miss the chilly temps from back in the US. Can anybody send some this way for us?
ReplyDeletesorry, no can do. y'all are missing out on some more eerie, apocalyptic weather around here (70s, windy, raining). it's all wrong.
ReplyDeleteloving the updates-- sounds like an amazing trip!
I am sure that after a while you would get used to it. I don't know about the long sleeve shirts and the jackets but maybe the jeans. Oh well take care and keep sending the updates and pictures, they are awesome!

ReplyDelete"GO CANES" we won again.
They are probably used to it if they have lived there their entire life. I have learned from living different places that it is amazing what you can get used to. Even some things you don't want to consider normal, you forget about them after a while.
