It’s getting hot in here…

So the muggy hot season has started again in Bali…What it’s not 30 degrees Celsius all-year round you ask? From what I’ve experienced, although it is warm the entire year, it’s not always so muggy and sticky…

During the rainy season (Dec-April) which apparently was longer than usual this year, it can get quite humid. Defintely put on the AC for bedtime, if you have it! Then, from May to Sept, it’s just nice and sunny during the day with nice cool winds in the evening that help freshen up the air – makes for a good night’s sleep…aaah! In Oct-Nov, the humidity kicks back in and this is what we’ve been experiencing for the past 2 weeks….Yuck!

So, as Nelly says in his song: “It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes…” Sometimes I wish I could just chill out in my Mamy Poko Pants all day long just cuz it’s so hot
(Note: Mamy Poko is a local brand of diapers equivalent to Pampers or Huggies)

On days when we go out and I actually do have to get dressed, I just do what the Balinese guys do when they want to cool off – Lift your t-shirt over your belly… I figured it was just to stay cool, but who knows, maybe it’s a fashion statement here….hmmmm…

Beat the heat by exposing belly 🙂

Gives new meaning to the term “Bali-Belly”…
