Summer heat

Winter in Beijing was brutally cold with the winds knocking every last bit of warmth out of you and now it seems like summer is competing to be equally nasty. The humidity is more then just oppressive, there is really no way to describe it, except to feel it yourself. Go into your bathroom and turn your shower on as hot as it will get and leave it that way until your bathroom gets completely fogged up, then leave it on a little more to really get the temperature up. Then walk in there completley clothed and stay in there for a while and you have a rough idea. Now imagine working and moving around and going places in that. That's Beijing.
