how hot?

It's so hot in Shanghai, I don't poke my head out the apartment door.
It's been 38C for the last couple days with high humidity. I sweat
just by walking 10 minutes. This year has been particular bad. All
those concrete buildings giving out non-carbon offset radiant heats
and the ever growing new cars idling waiting for their masters (thanks
to the C0mM!e-styled incentive program). There can be a 2-3 degree
swing from where I live to the outlining area.

The air outside is thick and heavy. And every time I pass by a car or
a bus, the air becomes thicker and hotter. I can boil water with so
to speak.

The tap water, I have unplugged my water heater tank, because the cool
water side is so warm you can take a hot shower. That's how hot it is
here!

It's 6:00am and I couldn't open my window because the heavy hot air
just rush into the apartment. Doesn't help the building across the
street has white paint and is another concrete slap.

The name of progress here is actually killing them.

BTW: Twitter is bL0ckeD again.
