People Never Get Tired

Of talking about the heat here. It's the same way we talk about the cold in Canada. Here people talk about the heat. "God it's hot" "I'm so hot" "It's so hot today". Yeah, I know it's hot. I'm sweating my ass off (LITERALLY), I get that it's hot here.

It's funny. Some days the heat wraps around you like a warm hug. Other days it feels like your insides are cooking. Yesterday on the bus I nearly had to get off because I felt like I was in a great big boiling pot. I had visions of my insides bursting like a footlong does when you roast it on the fire. I keep hearing promises of it getting cooler here or how I'll get used to the heat. I hope that's true on both fronts. The other day at the internet cafe I must have looked quite a mess because the girl at the counter asked if I wanted a tissue and the man had such a laugh when I said "God yes, THANK YOU!". Sweat rolls down my face and into my eyes, I now have a whole new appreciation for waterproof mascara!
