We got here last Wednesday
You're only here for 5 days? That's way too short.

Yah . I know . The friends I'm with could only do the five days . Unlike me they had to work . I could have done 2 weeks for sure though I am sporting a seriously red stomach and beak right now lol

It hasn't gone below 24C down here.
Americans cannot yet think in Celsius. Those numbers mean nothing to me. For us yanks:11 Celsius = 51.8 Degree Fahrenheit

Yeah, we know the nomenclature (and why), but we don't yet THINK in Celsius or metrics. 0° C = the freezing point of water. But Americans cant relate to that.
When somebody says "Its a nice Spring day, 80 degrees and sunny!", I can see that in my head. But "Wow, what a beautiful day! Its a sunny 21 degrees outside!", that just makes no sense to me. Im just a yank!

Except when it's convenient, like when dealing with drugs or medications, then out come the milligrams and kilos.
