sometimes I look at where I have chosen to spend my adult life (nothing has forced me to stay here) and wonder "what the hell is wrong with you?" I have never been a hot-weather kind of person and even when I was very athletic I always had a hyper-sweating sort of disorder. Seriously, I even once got a prescription to curb the sweating because I was getting embarrassed in public about it. So it really makes no sense that I choose to live in some of the hottest places on earth.

There is some talk around here about "acclimation" and normally this is voiced by people that haven't lived outside of their home country nearly as long as I have. I think it is a myth. You don't get used to it being this hot, you are either born with the correct genes to deal with it or you are not. I have Nordic/Germanic bloodlines, I was never going to be the right person for this climate :)
