How do other Europeans survive the raining season in Asia? (jemmy.jeena.net)

I moved to Korea and every year June, July and August I'm incapable to be outside because of the humidity. On the way to the convenience shop my underwear is already sweaty.

So I stay either in the office or at home running the AC all the time which doesn't help with fighting the climate change.

Tis a fact that without AC, Europeans were very prone to really bad illness, especially dangerous when they were feverish. Missionaries to Europe were undergoing a very risky trip.

I can get by if I really tell myself to calm down, chill out with the walking, find ways to carry heavy stuff not on my back, and dip into AC whenever I can. Jumping from shade to shade in the sun is a necessity for me too.
