So I've been back for quite awhile now.
I'm so contented with everything and believe or not, the heat has not affected me a single bit. Srsly. I reckon I prefer hotter days over the freezing ones in Australia.
And the incident that takes the cake so far...
Barista: "hi, can I help you?"
Me: "uh, yeah... just gimme awhile."
Barista: "sorry, we don't have such a product."
