im on my 7th Summer here now and while yes it is hot, as said in previous posts you learn how to cope with the heat. One thing I have found is that while airconditioning is fantastic when you have, it is much better trying not to use as the blast of hot air when you go from an airconditioned room to the outdoor heat makes it feel much more unbearable when you go out. I have a fan in my bedroom, 1 in living room and 1 on my terrace where I sit in the shade
Do any housework at night or early morning or not at all, dont feel guilty if you feel like sleeeping in the day, when I am able I spend many an afternoon lazing on my bed with the fan at full blast, I also if I intend to cook an evening mea, prepare everything while its cooler and try to make things that can be eaten cold, warmed up quickly, or one pot stuff that I can bung in the oven for a couple of hours and doesnt need standing over, also lots of BBQs
