Does this mean you'll be settling down in one place? Well, I've been here almost two years now. My wife has itchy feet (she has travelled less than I, and wants to catch up!), and wants to go to Iran, Argentina or Senegal. I am missing SE Asia, but also want to go back to the Middle East, which is a bit more accessible from here. Basically, we're both hopeless at making decisions. Until a decision is made, we're kicking back on the beach, waiting for a change in the weather. Planning a scooter tour around Corsica in September which should be awesome. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- --

Singapore is famous for its extensive use of A/C, in particular. Hot climates without A/C are very primitive, and are likely to remain so for as long as they don't have A/C. > Really > > How precisely does a fan manufacture water ? It doesn't. But it speeds evaporation of sweat by increasing air movement. The sweat thus evaporated increases the amount of water vapor in the air, thereby increasing relative humidity. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
