Congested Heat or Wide Open Spaces

Singapore. Scorching weather in concrete jungle. Yes, that is the weather we have here. But we are so used to it, we just complained hot or humid. You won't catch us saying brrr...it's so cold, it had snowed in nor would you ever catch us saying we have to scrape the car windows down. We have the air conditioning on almost every night unless it's broken. And we go about doing the normal things we do each day, going in and out of office from the hot scorching sun to the cool comforts of air conditioning in the offices and malls.

But what is really getting to me, is not the weather. I could go to Thailand or Malaysia and weather the same heat yet not complain much. To me, it is the space constraint. In Singapore, space is so limited and wherever we turn, there's buildings, flats, condominiums, offices, shophouses..everywhere.

In Malaysia, Thailand and Arizona homes that weather hot scorching weather it is not congested. Because of the wide open spaces, big open land and big trees, it feels like a holiday and you breathe easier. Arizona may have their scorching days but they have winter too. So you get to have unconstrained air conditioning without having to be kept in a small room or building.
