Oh yeah? Try traveling to Africa.
A couple of years ago, my parents and i went to Ivory Coast on a business trip.
In Africa, there are three things that are annoying:
1-The excessive heat.
2-The dirt that flies around on windy days.
3-Mosquitos.

"Cold" (coughweaklingcough:wacko:) is superior to "Hot", though. You can typically put on an extra layer if needed. There's only so much you can take off.

That's pretty much what we get during summer, if you're north of the city and out in the proper rural areas. From time to time the duststorms blow into the cities as well but thas comparatively rare.

Australian weather can get vicious, particularly if you're away from the coastal belt.

It depends of the people you are referring to.
Some people are more resistant to cold, and others are more resistant to the heat.
I am neither.:wacko:

In Africa, that isn't something that rare.
I lived at what they used to call '' The rich people district'', and the maid had to clean the house three to four times a day.

Hence the layer thing :P If you're cold, you can usually put on another layer until you get comfortable/warm, no? But if you're uncomfortably hot, you can only take off so much. Especially in public :P

When i was in Africa, some kids walked around in underwear!!
That is something that kids from other countries, like myself at that time, wouldn't even think of doing even in cases of extreme heat.
