I remember there was one time in college when we had this heat wave during the month of May.  And my roommate and I decided to have this little contest going in our small group where people could submit their entries to us by completing the sentence "It's so hot that..." and there would be a prize for the winner with the best line.

Not in college anymore, but it sure is ridiculously hot and humid right now in Shanghai.  Summer has really arrived.  It's nasty.   So anyway, here are few of my own entries this time round:

It's so hot that...

... even sitting down in my apartment makes me sweat

... 7-eleven has become a place to hang out (because of the cold a/c)

... people are walking around with grimaces on their faces

... I plan my walking route to the subway via the "coolest" path i.e. the places with the most a/c

... I keep moving so that I generate some draught to cool of my sweat

... at 6pm, it is already dark because of the grey clouds looming overhead and they look like they're gonna burst with rain

Well, irritatingly enough, ãlmost 3 hours later, it still hasn't poured like I thought it would.  Instead we're getting this nonsense super-light drizzle that is doing nothing to alleviate the humidity and heat.  LET IT POUR PLS!
