And so the saying goes If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. 27ºC is the comfortable temperature for some students and work-mates! That is when still wearing a full sleaved shirt / blouse and a jacket. I tried many times to explain the comfort zone concept. So here it is:

It's time for sayonara from this melting pot of fun, numerous heroics, vending machines, antics, shockers, fears, tunes, dancing faces, challenges, mini-skirts, hang-overs, trembling apartment buildings, dramas, the bizarre, mobile phone dialogues, festivals, white-board marker fumes, bicycles, raw eggs, temples, sun burns, coffee, ...
