     The clothes in my wardrobe are damp, and I run the toaster twice when I toast my bread.

     @clacke The air dryness in New York City is a quality I didn’t know I needed. Paris air was always a little humid, but I really suffered when I experienced tropical humidity in Cairns in Australia.

     Now it can be humid in NYC, but it rarely lasts long, and all the buildings have central air or AC so it is livable for me.

     In Swedish "rust" and "toast" are homophones, so I can make the joke "in this weather, everything rusts except the bread".

     The first time I opened up a computer that had been in HK for a few years, I was shocked. I had never seen a computer look like that.

     Don't buy an expensive computer in this city unless you can keep it in a constantly climate-controlled space. It won't survive many years.
