I grew up in the desert. Granted, the high desert (not Az), but still desert. Traveled through Death Valley a few times and that was pretty hot. So, I thought I knew what "hot" meant.
Boy, was I wrong!!
Here's what I learned...
Zip yourself inside of a giant sealed Ziplock bag, and then do jumping jacks in the sun for about a half hour inside that thing. Then go lay on an asphalt roadway (still inside that Gawd-forsaken ziplock bag) in the blazing hot sun of Death Valley...and you have Malaysia...where I "lived" for 2+ years. That place is not fit for humans...period! THAT...is HOT!!
Completely redefined my definition of the word "Hot"!!!
It's fucking incomprehensible how unimaginably hot it gets there!! I don't think the temp dropped below 95 degrees the entire time I was there, and the humidity is like 105% all the time! You can't even take a decent photo there because there is so much water vapor in the air...you can literally see it! Feels like you can cut it with a knife.
And, not even the tiniest microscopic hint of a breeze or air moving.
That just flat-out SUCKED!!!
