Canberra was nice and dry, but fairly hot. If you tried to shuffle the air around (open a car window or start up a fan) it would just blow hot air around. You could feel the air sucking the moisture out of your eyeballs. I started to get sick in Canberra... And learned that people can't live off of Coca Cola. Seriously. You have to drink water. Actual water. To stay hydrated. Seriously.
Auckland is swampy. We have mosquitos at night. I think the sewers in the city collect sewerage in a sort of a sump fashion until the contractors water blast it along for treatment / disposal. So you get a build up of smell. NOt just when it rains. Just over time. You get a build up of smell from the sewers in the city. Something something about open pipes and the overflow is actually designed to run over into storm-water. So the smell of sewerage coming out the storm-water vents all about the city.
By the hospital. Which is charming (not).
Sigh.
