Air Con

I took the night bus from Pakse to Vientiane, because my time is running out slowly but steady. Again a not so nice surprise: the air condition was turned up so incredibly high, that means the temperatur so incredibly low, that everyone was freezing. It must have been something like 18 degrees inside the bus, maybe even less. Outside 33, 35... In central and northern Europe fogging of the inside of windows is a common phenomenon: cold outside, warm inside, in a car, for example. Here it was the other way around: the windows were partly fogged on the outside... I've never seen that before, and hopefully it will be the last time in my life...
I know that in hot countries cool temperatures are something desirable and often a luxury, the same as warm temperatures for northern Europeans. But I never understand the attitude of turning down the temperatures to such an extent that it makes people feel uncomfortable or even get sick. Maybe I don't have to understand it... In Spain this brainless behaviour is more normality than exeption, and I just hate it. Apparently it's a universal behaviour...
