"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun" is a classic line attributed to Rudyard Kipling. It was written, I believe, from his observations of life in Burma - which is just a few borders away.
It's still 30 degrees or more here - in the shade. Humidity is constantly in the 90's. I had to pop down to the local market a few days back right on midday and spied the mad dog's mate. Here was a white fella clad in running shoes and shorts, shirt off in all his hairy glory, cracking a smart pace through the heart of the midday market. Unbelieveable!!
