Spring...
Perhaps, the reason for springs and autumns is because god has mercy on us humans!
Flying off from Hanoi right into Krung Thep in April seemed like a bad move. It is like putting taking your head our from the freezer and putting it straight into a super hot oven, if you can do those without your head cracking open!
It was so cold for Hanoi for me then that I had to wear socks almost all the time when I was in the apartment. I needed the jacket all the time when I was out and on worse days scenario, I even wore it while I was in the apartment. I might be exaggeration with the coldness but being a Malaysian, 18-20 degrees daily was too way to cold for me and I had a tough time adjusting, especially during the first 2 weeks.
Now, back in Krung Thep at the height of the Songkran season, I am experiencing massive headaches daily. It has only been 3 days here, yet, I cannot seem to adjust to the weather. It's almost like 35-38 degrees daily since I've landed. It's so hot I am tempted to have the airconditioning switched on almost all the time.
Which got me thinking, maybe the reason for spring and autumn to be stuck in the between winter and summer, and summer and winter, respectively, is to help our body to adjust better to the temperature change. That the world is designed to protect it's living things and not to kill it.
An extreme change from super hot to super cold or vice versa will just wipe us out!
Sigh.. where's my (mini)spring to help save me?
