Man, it's hot in here!

I was going to write that it's much hotter and humid here than I'm used to, but after comparing Lisbon and Istanbul weather for yesterday I can see the difference is not that big, still humidity here got up to 94%! I guess that, when in Portugal, I spent most of the time surrounded by air contitioned and now it's all au naturell!
Anyway, this is what I see every day: people go in the dolmuş which is a mini-bus for 10 people with 2 small windows and no big refrigeration system and they have a turkish bath there! No wonder they invented this! :-P
It's really good for your body to renew the water, they tell me. And then there's a big market for small water bottles, in big squares you can see water bottle sellers wandering though the crowd selling their product, almost everyone is carrying a water bottle since sometimes it's hard to survive without it!

Alo VV!
Tá tudo nos conformes :)
Já agora: Podes usar o google para traduzir o blog para português, apesar de ser uma tradução demasiado palavra a palavra, dá para ir percebendo:
