how do 43°C feel like?

In one word: HOT! Melbourne experiences the hottest temperatures in over a hundred years. And I am proud to be part of this! Running around al day hunting for a room instead of enjoying the coolness and intellectual stimulation of air-conditioned museums, I was partly blind because of sweat running into my eyes. Putting on make up did not work anyway, because all my eyeliners were melted. Anyway, this is a good way to get to know the city a bit better. And, I had the sidewalks all to myself, because every sane person was hiding inside cooler buildings. I could feel the water I drank immediately vaporizing through the pores of my skin a resulting in little streams of sweat running down my back and my calves. I am not over exaggerating here, buckling train tracks caused a major traffic chaos (so I was smart to walk), and even in the supermarket many racks were left empty because many fresh products could not be delivered because of the heat. There is even talk about postponing the Australian Open that are taking place here at the moment, but so far, the poor tennis players have to play in almost 50° heat…no idea how the do that?!
While walking along Brunswick ST however, I was first drawn into a nice little café where I finally did what I love to do: Having a coffee while reading the newspaper (and taking pictures of it). When I moved on, the sign “Gallery” caught my attention, I went in and what can I say, I am an official volunteer of the Brunswick St Gallery, starting 10a.m. tomorrow morning.
I even applied for a job in an Italian Bistro, but do not have high hopes. My resume needs a work over but I am gonna start the job hunting as soon as I have a room, I promise.
