That's already a lot better than Sydney Rail (Transport NSW TrainLink now), it was 40 C degree heat a couple of days ago, and I waited on an outdoor train station and 3 train pass by, all are non--AC....that's 45 minutes wait out in the sun lol...

The reason the trainlink keep changing its name is simply because people will not know what to blame them with lol...

Several years ago when I went to vacation in Philippines, as soon as i arrived in Manila, the first thing that took me by surprised was the fact that Filipina girls walking around in the heat with high heels (LOL!), second, was the absolute humidity of the country -- its just so HOT. I think when i arrived it was around 37 C. My lady friend who gave me a tour around Manila, Makati and Quezon City didn't seem to be affected by it --- but for me, i was sweating rivers. LOL. She kept saying to me, "Are you okay, Sir? Sir, you want to get some water?" hahahaha.

So yea, the place where i got 'cooled' off was at my hotel room, lol. That and the mall there, which is where i think everyone goes to 'cool' off.

If i go visit Vietnam, I'll have to get ready for this same heat. LOL!

With Vietnam's improving infrastructure, its relatively large population, relatively affordable labor, it will become a favorable site for manufacturing off-shoring.

Not to mention a devoted, patriotic single party state.

All the best Vietnam!
