Europe is having a heat wave

If you know me, you know I love the heat. But the thing is, they're not prepared for it here. Nobody has air conditioning. Fine, I can deal with that. Nobody has fans. Um... Okay... That's not so good. The few places that have fans, they have them pointing in completely the wrong direction. Buildings were not designed to encourage airflow.

I'm at an internet cafe right now, and I'm reminded of Kolkata. Not because it's as hot as Kolkata here, but because it's so much hotter than the funny pink internet cafe we always went to on Sudder Street. They had fans in there and they knew how to use them. They have one fan here. It's sitting in the corner, pointing at no one.

I did some stuff today. It was all very interesting and nice; however, I'm too sweaty and gross to stay in here any longer.

  • Yes. Our heatwave. The thing here is, we forget how to use the fans from year to year, and only remember again towards the end of the hot weather. Either that, or because we don't often see hot weather, we like to 'enjoy' it by feeling the full effect.

    Gotta love the Europeans.
