Yeah, luckily it was so hot there that you didn’t really want a hot shower.

Sounds like Honduras. Such a warm wet place. Sweating while toweling off after a cold shower. And yet they would serve hot soup all over, blew my mind. A+ fruit though.

In the UK they say if you're hot. Have a cup of tea. Something about core temperature....likely it's an old wives tale but hey, it's an excuse for a cup of tea.

The cup of tea makes you sweat if you're already hot. It's the same thing with the preference for spicy food in regions with high ambient temperatures.
