I'm here in Laos PDR today and also seriously hot. Have just enjoyed cool shower #2 (and it's 11.30am) and sipping on lovely cool water in a shaded room under a lazy fan. Hot season is good! But possibly I will moan and groan at Immigration later, when I am up close and sweaty with the other 700+ people picking up their visas this afternoon. :) Cool is mostly a state of mind!! :)
