Weather where you are?

10 years I've been in Singapore... 3,650 days of 32-35C, high humidity and never once had a cold day. 
It's got to be the most oppressive climate out there. Yes, 12 months of summer every day would be nice once, but 10 years...
Beam me up Scottie.

Yeah, I hear you on the humidity, but you are able to walk out your door and get a decent feed for next to nothing at absolutely anytime of the night.
Theres a lot to love about Singapore, however the humidity isn't one of them.
 
Love being in Thailand for the food: Chicken skewers with garlic and sesame seed string beans over charcoal at 11:00pm after a night out is hard to beat.

Did a dirt bike tour in Bali, a food stop in the middle of BFN in a jungle: beer, chilli noodles, chicken, garlic veggies and beer.  :-X

Some of the best food I have had was lunch in a ?blue collar? food hall thingy in an industrial area in Singapore...... cheap as chips and yummy.

Great food is not in up style restaurants, no matter where you are in the world.
Aye, you take your risks, but there?s usually a shitter close by ;)
 
I worked in Malaysia, on and off, for a while. Usually we (my boss and I) would fly in for a couple of weeks contract work, then fly back to Tassie. I reckon we did about a dozen trips like that. Yeah, the constant heat and humidity can be quite oppressive. On a rare non-work day, one of the local guys we were working with took us for a drive up to the Genting Highlands. It was high enough in the mountains to be pleasantly cool. I was happy enough in a T-shirt, but our Malaysian colleague thought it was freezing cold and was piling on layers of clothing. I guess it's a matter of what you're used to. I dunno whether I'd ever acclimatise to the humidity though.

I loved the local food too, but the toilets are an experience I'd rather forget. I'm not a fan of the "hole in the floor" type crappers that seemed to be the default in most places. I always made a point of booking accommodation in top-notch hotels that had decent bathroom and toilet facilities.
 
All the beachfront property owners checking their insurance policies whilst some of the worlds leaders once again try to get some action agreed on with the big picture.
Just sleet and one degree here atm, everyones favourite, bikes in hibernation.
 
Stormed last night on the North Shore and got 4 to 6 inches of snow - I don't think it will melt and here to stay.

Looks like the battery in my Jeep is on it's last legs, I can't complain as it is the original battery from 2001.
 
Watched the flooding in northern NSW and southern Queensland on the TV news last night. Seemed a million miles from Hobart where the weather is completely opposite - hot and dry, with hardly any wind. The grass is starting to turn brown, so we could use a bit of rain. Not as much as you guys are getting up there though.
 
Already well into the bushfire season here in South Aus. Busy cleaning the gutters as up to 3mm of rain forecast for tomorrow, where we are every drop counts.

I?m coming down to Launceston today to check out the brown grass and heat. Still packed a jacket though  ;)
 
I reckon you'll miss the heat Chris. Cool change forecast for the next couple of days. The temperature has gone from 30+ yesterday to 17 today. That's typical for Tasmania. Sometimes you can get summer and winter in the same day.
