[> Of course the lack of air conditioning is NOT the most important problem, hahaha. It just stroke me funny because in that one article I read it was such a big thing. Besides, we do have air conditioning in public buildings, some butchers, drugstores and such have it, but itīs not the rule, and itīs not in the bedrooms of the hospitals! Our health system is way too expensive anyway, so nobody would spend money on such a luxory thing. We donīt need it much either. This summer is a total exception with up to 40°C and more in some areas. Normally we donīt go over the 35°C mark (for only 4 weeks a year!), which, believe it or not, is easily bearable, because there is not much humidity. Itīs nice warm.*g* At night it cools down reasonably, just not this year! We had up to 28°C all night long! But it got cooler already. Last night we were sitting on a balcony wrapped into blankets, because the wind was chilly. The heat is over, whoohoo! -- Martina, 05:40:02 08/16/03 Sat
