    Isn't that a wooden house though? Most buildings out here are made of brick and concrete. The roofs could be damaged though.

    On the plus side: how many people do you know can ski jump off their own roofs?

    Not surprisingly: it's amazing how little snow you'll find around when it's 50 degrees. tongue

    But the hill resorts up further north are really beautiful! Although I hear there's lesser snow there now, thanks to global warming. sad

    Kashmir is a true heaven on earth. Have you been to Kashmir Ravi? Particularly overland ( it's a two day bus journey from Delhi ), it's got to be in the worlds top 5 most hair raisingly dangerous road journey in the world.....stunningly spectacular and nerve racking all at once.

    Bears? Yes, there's bears in Kashmir and I saw two of them....both hilariously stuffed propping a doorway in Shrinigar bus station cheesy

    The last 8+ hour leg to Shrinigar is on roads, if you could call them that, carved into the sides of mountains with huge stretches that are barrierless with drops that nothing living would survive, it doesn't help that at the bottom of these ravines can be seen the destroyed wreckage of buses and trucks in fairly numerous quantities. As I said, it's exciting, spectacular and very unnerving.

    The heat here reached 100 degrees yesterday, fahrenheit of course, and its uncomfortable. Same for today.

    I don't prefer to use the air conditioner unless it gets too unbearable because I let my body face the heat and become somewhat resistant tongue

    A friend of mine told me body muscles gradually lose their tone if exposed to air conditioning too much.

    Your body will never get resistant against excess heat.
    Humid heat will prevent your body from evaporating water which is the natural way your body processes excess heat.
    In dry heat, sweating too much you will become in danger of losing too much salt.

    In any case, it's NOT good for you, and it will only help your body get acclimatised to the disorders associated with overheating, which are eminently preventable!

    A friend of mine told me body muscles gradually lose their tone if exposed to air conditioning too much.


    <raised eyebrow>
    I'd be MOST curious to learn the medical and/or physical reason behind that particular tale... sounds VERY much like an urban legend.

    Certainly must be just a superstition, I agree, because although I've heard a lot of so-called "body building buffs" say that, I've never read that anywhere (didn't search the Internet for it yet). I'm a little paranoid about such stuff though.

    But of course I know how harmful excess heat is, which is why I use the AC if it goes over 50 or something. What I meant was that I don't use it if the temp's only like 30 degrees or so because then we'll have a bad time if we need to stay at a non-airconditioned place, which aren't exactly uncommon here tongue

    Fair enough.
    That does make a lot of sense in a climate that is so prone to excesses as yours.
    Are the winters as cold as the summer are hot?

    The cold is quite lesser than it once was actually. I think the temp went only as low as 12 this time when I remember it going about 2 in 1999. I was freezing then! And the cold only lasts a week or two before the scorching heat is back.

    Global warming is having a very bad effect on weather here, combined with overload of vehicle and industrial pollution and mass deforestation.

    I remember Delhi as being extremely hot, humid, dusty and exceptionally uncomfortable. On and off I was there during July - November and absolutely loved it when huge monsoon rains fell. cool
