It really is striking to see. I've worked across East and South East Asia. Outside of the office context, you really do slow down in hot climates. I mean in all aspects. When I first moved to Thailand, the first thing that went was my sense of fashion - - it was just too hot to care, and I was soon in shorts and flip flips like the locals. And during midday, if you are outside, there is a general listlessness in the air. The heat is oppressive. Such economies are losing a huge amount of productivity amongst their blue collar class because it's just too damned hot to do anything. It sounds silly when said, but air conditioned and affordable undergarments would be a game changer for the planet.
