WET!

It is unbelievable. You take a shower in the early morning, hoping for some cooling are; but no, just as you try to dry yourself with your towel, only the sily move called "clothing" makes you sweating. During the day, at best your arms, legs, palms and your face are wet, at worst (e.g. climbing "Mt." Faber) the sweat just pours out of your skin and you feel like a river flows out of your body.
Probably the best you can get as a city-hiker it to take the daily MRT (subway) from the Woodlands to City Hall which takes 45min, enough to make you feel cool and rather dry (the only time in the day:-(

The humidity is usually around 80%, so whenever you enjoy a rest on a bench or so, you're sure that your shorts stick to your ass and legs like glued together.

Even in our flat which we (two exchange students) share with a Chinese family you sweat like hell (there is no Air-con, buhu). To "solve" the problem, they keep every roomdoor in the apartment open all day (and night); this does not only limit my capacity to work in the night (and early/late morning) - since the tipping apparently annoys my fellows - but robs you the last privacy you possibly could have.

Huh, Imiss the feeling of dryness. I just ask myself if I ever get accustomed to this kind of climate here.
