Yeah, but it's different, even the heat is different. In hotter countries we would adapt and become used to it. Because we only get two or three weeks of this, we can't really change our habits, lifestyle etc. When i was 20, i did 2 months in southern spain, there isn't even a cloud down there in summer. We started early, then worked a few hours late afternoon, evening. The biggest difference was the speed we worked at, or lack of. We still carry on like it's April.
