It was a hot and sweaty afternoon
It was a hot and sweaty afternoon when I saw this caucasian guy near the Asian Civilisations Museum.
He was actually talking on his mobile phone. I went in closer to get a close-up shot, but that was when he finished his call and got up. He probably comes from Alaska or Siberia.
Reminds me of the difference between Asian and Westerners.
Hmmm… that could be a new ad for Solar Energy.

No offense but I’ve only seen Indians do this kind of thing.

I’ve come up with the most logical reason to these well documented sightings
Ang moh skin very fair/white which reflects both light and heat, hence increases their ability to withstand the ever “tormenting” scalding rays.
As for Veron’s comment to indians, it’s weird cause I’d think that they’d be the first to spontaneously combust under such conditions (not an intended racist comment!)

The grass/ground is a lot nicer to sit on over here. XD

When I was in the US last summer, people were doing this EVERYWHERE! Well, where they could find grass anyway. They’d just sit around with a book or with picnic baskets and chill out in the sun while I complained about the heat.
