The trains themselves are generally air conditioned and ok, Generally. But the platforms are never air conditioned, and over half of my trip has above-ground outside platforms. Which means when the doors open (and sometimes they sit there with them open) the heat billows right in. And then there's the bus part of my daily trip. Again, the buses themselves are air conditioned (pretty much to the point of refrigerated, which makes me exceedingly happy), but there's the waiting and the walking. Bleah. It's been SO HUMID this summer I feel like I spend my commute wading through soup.
Re: people. Yeah, they probably get lazier and do less, but their interpersonal relationships seem locked in stone from childhood onward, especially about their relatives. Like my mother and her sisters have the same complaints about each other that they've had since they were kids. It makes me laugh, because we all think that we mature so much, but as I get older it seems more like a gloss than a reality.
