I just got back from my 3-week vacation back to Taiwan . This was our first time back to Taiwan in the heat of the summer. We usually went back in the winter during Thanksgiving. I was afraid of the heat. The reality proved that my feel was not unfound. I was soaked all the time. I sweated constantly like running water. I wore the bare minimum of cloth I could wear and had to change clothes constantly. I washed in cold water and got all soaking wet again after the shower. The bathroom was like a steam room even though I was washing in cold water. It was hard for me to endure. The humidity was unbearable. Staying at my in-law’s house was unbearable too because we usually turned on the air-conditioner at night while we were sleeping. It was unbearable for me. I am so used to cold weather. Most of the time, we were in shopping center. However, any time away from the air-conditioner was hard for me. Finally my body could not take it anymore and I came down with a cold after a week in Taiwan . So I carried a cold for the remaining of my trip in Taiwan .
I hope that I don’t have to visit Taiwan in the summer again. However, it seems unlikely since that would be the only time we have not to interrupt our son’s school schedule. I am glad that I am back to the US and my cold seems to go away.
