I finally made it and it's HOT AS HELL

So I'm in Bahrain. I met Josh (for those that don't know, Josh is an old old friend, my connection out there, and my roommate.) I'm fucking hot as hell. I'm tired. I want to go back. Except it's a 23 hour flight back. Maybe I'll give it a chance:) Anyway, at the airport getting off I met another teacher--Scott (we'll get to him later)--and we got our luggage. On the way out of the luggage area, I got stopped AGAIN by security (nevermind Scott and Kate got through no problem) and they randomly opened one of my bags. The dude asked in broken english if my computer contained anything "not normal" and if my DVD's were "normal." Normal? I have since come to the conclusion that not much is "normal" by our standards here. Anyway, I packed my stuff back up and headed out. Josh, Mr. Dewey (the HS principal), Janet (the elementary principal) and others were there to greet us. That was very nice, but like I said before, I really smelled like ass and was in no shape for first impressions. But, I quickly found out that my B.O. was the least of my concerns. That was the heat. Josh stepped ahead of me walking out apparently so he could see my reaction--and man, did I give him a show. Opening that door walking outside (11pm) was like walking into hell. It was easily over 100 degrees and 85+ % humidity. You have never, and trust me on this, never experienced anything like that in your life. Mind you, that was the coolest part of the day too. WOW. You can obviously see the pit marks--this picture was taken minutes after walking outside. A bead of sweat immediately formed over my entire body the second I walked outside. It was truely unbelievable.
