Bonus Edition: Griping About Weather

Singapore is also the hottest place we've been yet. Well, not hottest, but most uncomfortable. I sweat through my shirt in a matter of minutes here while it was overcast. I can't even imagine what its like when the sun's out. It's pretty awful outdoors. It's like 1 degree above the equator so its hot and humid every day with a slight chance of rain. It drizzled a few times for a few minutes, but it didn't cool it down as much as make it more humid.

India was hot and humid in Chennai, and just hot in Delihi-Agra-Jaipur. Northern India was much more bearable than Southern. Southern India at its worst is about how Singapore was when I was there (well I'm still there now but you know).

Mauritius was paradise. Nothing else to say.

South Africa was almost chilly in Cape Town. They sometimes get blasted by wind straight from Antarctica there. Johannesburg and the Pilanesburg Game Reserve were hot during the day and cold at night, especially out in the country. Early morning game drives at Pilanesberg definitely required a jacket. Oh yeah I haven't told you about South Africa yet. Well nobody's asked, either, so hmph!

Ghana was cool but humid. Much more bearable than Singapore and Chennai [wah].

Morocco was extremely hot but extremely dry.

Spain was the same as Morocco, but not QUITE as hot. Also there was no dust, which is basically like fog that gets stuck in your clothes. My Marrakech t-shirt that I wore while hiking in the sand STILL has dust stains on it, after like 5 washes.

Okay, bedtime. Tomorrow is probably a visit to the Thai neighborhood of Singapore for more Thai finery, then we leave at 5pm. Singapore is 12 hours ahead of the East Coast, which makes figuring out what time it is at home super easy.

From the future,

Stephen
