I figured it would be the other way around people in the south art of China, which I think is where my co-worker went, would be hot so people would be accustomed to heat. My cousin married a guy from Australia and it was funny to see the reaction to certain temperatures. My cousin is used to winters here which get to about -25C but in Australia (Canberra I think it was) she said people wore winter coats when it was +20C, to them it was bitterly cold she said. It makes sense that you acclimatize to a warm climate I wish I could live someplace warm :(
