When we moved in our new apartment, our neighbor started describing the Bangladeshi summer weather to us. In a very strong Turkish accent she was trying to make her point:
"Everyyyybody smells!"
That stuck with Cristina and me. And now is starting to make sense as it is getting unbearably hot. So hot it's absolute agony. There's absolutely no break from it. Ever. You constantly feel like someone's holding a huge hairdryer over you; the muggy air is like waves of heat rolling over your body. If you walk in the streets, your shirt is sticking to your back in less then two minutes. You smell like a horse regardless of the quantity of deodorant you are using.
It's been horrific, and summer has just started. It's making people angry, frustrated, and short tempered. I can honestly say that I have never been so hot in my life. I am sick and tired of being so bloody hot! And the worst part is that it's only going to get worse. So yes, Bangladesh is a fantastic place this time of the year.
We are in the 'temperature adjustment' phase at the moment and we are having our challenges with that. Could someone mail us some cold arctic air? We would be eternally grateful.

You should've taken an Alabama training in July-August timeframe prior to move to Bangladesh :))
