As the temperature increases the streets become quieter and more folk stay inside their homes or go to the shopping centre for some relief from the heat. I can’t stay inside for too long as I feel I will go stir crazy, so I often leave the house and do this too.

I will often ride on the metro because it’s closer to my apartment and I’ve noticed that as the temperature is rising there are more and more people heading down into the stations. There are long corridors and the stations are quite large and so many of the old or those with young families come down here for a few hours to escape the blistering heat. There are labourers sleeping here trying to miss the mid day sun. It looks like a war zone at times with bodies everywhere but the good thing is that the authorities don’t seem too concerned and so they are left alone.
