Why go along with the crowd in a vain, un-Buddhist quest to find luxury and comfort? Wouldn't you like to spend a month touring unforgettable places like the diamond mines from Blood Diamond, evenings visiting local villages with the boy soldiers? Or spend an idyllic week at the site of the Reverend Jim Jones massacre? Or join a session of aerobics followed by a fun run through the stalls at Jatujak market, Sunday at 3 pm in mid April?
To aid you in planning your trip I have brought you yesterday's global dew point map from weather underground (showing a possible itinerary), along with the latest surface sea temperature record from satellites. Note that these valuable maps will not, like inferior imitations, just show you places with sauna-like heat -- those are a dime a dozen -- but allow you to select locales where you can be assured that you will be immediately soaked in healthy sweat even before you finish dealing with the scowling customs agent with the automatic weapon.
(Whoops, what's that missing square in he middle of Africa? Maybe the boy soldiers just paid a visit to the weather station!)
And remember, you can find a few places in the world (at least this week) where the comfort level is even less than Bangkok!
Any suggestions from Ian out there for special events?
Happy travels!
