The power of air con

With the heat and humidity over here, it makes you wonder some times how people managed without air conditioning. It's on wherever you go. It's on constantly in the flat, constantly in the car, constantly in the office, all the shops, bars and restaurants operate with it on and even the tents that are being erected for the different Iftars have air conditioning units with them.

Earlier this week we learnt why air con is so needed. The air conditioning system in the whole of ADNEC went down and you felt the difference the moment you stepped into the building. Getting into the more enclosed space of the office it was even more uncomfortable. It was advised we all work from home that day, which is just as well as I managed 15 minutes in the office before it was time for another shower and a new shirt!
