I usually spend the mornings at some lake (thankfully, there are plenty of those 'round here) and in the evenings I go to a beer garden. The problem is that I don't sleep very well in this heat. the apartment building I live in is made of concrete- that stuff simply stores the heat of the day...Fans are sold out all over germany, the nuclear power plants have to reduce their engergy output because the cooling becomes difficult, and, because of the high energy prices and the usually low demand, air conditioning is rare and expensive.I'm just not ready for this heat. I have work to do and I have to adher to deadlines - but it's just too hot to work. When I bought a kebap the other day I had a chat with the turkish shop assistant - even he complained about the heat: apparently, the air here in Munich is more humid than in Turkey, thus the subjective temperature is even higher than the numbers suggest (up to 40 degrees Celsius).The Isar-river is running low on water, and the quality of its water is deteriorating - you shouldn't bath in it, anymore.Thankfully, the lakes are still okay, there is enough drinking/tab water, and, thanks to the environmentally conscious industry, there is not too much ozone in the air...and I have a steady support of cold beer, which helps me through the day...</blockquote>
