Before I came here I was told not to worry about the heat because you go from your air-conditioned house into your air-conditioned car and then into your air-conditioned office, shopping mall or whatever. This is true but it also means that unless you can tolerate the heat you're stuck indoors 24/7. I don't like going to the gym, I prefer to build my exercise into my lifestyle, for example, walking as much as possible rather than taking the car. This can't be done here, even in the cooler weather. Give me northern European weather any day.
