It's not the heat, it's the . . .

In and around Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia time.  Cambodia-Thailand-Bali.  Equatorial heat, jungle humidity, blinding sunshine.  I might be eating my Chinese cold complaints but so be it.  At least it's less clothes to carry (but more sun block).  It's also beaches and scuba diving and surfing.  Frankie says Relax, but I'll also be on the lookout for any Temples of Doom and those so hard to find chilled monkey brains.  Should be a sweaty but interesting ride.
