I’m from the equator.

@juergen_hubert oh yeah waking up in the middle of the night in the Nordic summer is weird. I need a blackout eye mask or I just lose track of time and days
-
@skinnylatte Oh god I am so not adapted to humid weather. I grew up in country Western Australia where it's very hot and dry. Can cope with heat well, but not when it's humid - was in Darwin in the wet season a couple of years ago and struggled.
-
@timrichards I LOVE Darwin! The weather (and animals etc) remind me a lot of Borneo. Geologically it makes sense I guess
-
@seawall feels like it’s leeching the moisture out of you!
-
@skinnylatte I really like it too, but in the dry season.
Last time I was there I had a great laksa for breakfast at the Parap Village Market. -
@timrichards yes!
-
@skinnylatte You know, on glancing at Google Earth it looks like Darwin *is* closer to Borneo than to Sydney or Melbourne.

@skinnylatte As a long time occasional visitor to SE Asia it’s always fascinating to hear what it was like growing up there. On a related note, did you know you can tell how old a tree is here if you cut it down (or core it) and count the rings? That’s due to the seasons. You can’t do that in the tropics. #obscurefacts.

@timrichards I think historically they were connected until a tectonic plate moved

@CavedaleRhones I’ll always remember growing up in Singapore / Malaysia and spending vacations in Thailand / Indonesia to be warm, happy, a little wet (in the monsoon), full of delicious food and wonderful people. It gave me an unrealistic expectation of how delicious food should be and how many people want to feed me tasty things all day. Ecologically there’s a lot I’d like to return to explore, especially the birds in the rainforests

@skinnylatte Oh, wow
And I imagined everyone just hated it when the dewpoint gets above about 17C / 63F

@skinnylatte I'm allergic to summer, is there a way to remove moisturizer from my body when I travel to warm places?

@saraislet do what we do, drink boiling temp liquids constantly all day when it’s really hot out (which is all the time)
