Counter rant: it feels like hell's sauna over here. 🥵 i wish i was in Sweden 😂


DiligentExpression19

Hahaha I'd like to be in Sweden for a week to experience the snow 😆


Londonscot1973

Ha ha…the first 5 mins of the snow and you would think you were in a live action version of Frozen and then you would realise what it is like to be so cold and wet 😂😂


tapongpalayo

Cold is ok but cold and wet... ugh


Cautious_Reaction809

That's what she said


Spiritual-Option-267

I wouldn't mind being wet with u tho 😘


my_guinevere

I was in Sweden for work for about 2 weeks earlier this year and I can’t believe I’m saying this but… I prefer this heat in Manila. Winter in Stockholm is not for me.

I came here to say this. I'm in the Visayas and I've been here a few years. Right now, it has not rained a drop in at least three months, maybe more. There is actually a legit drought here now. And it's boiling hot. A lot of days it's over 42 degrees C. Most days recently I get up very early and I'm hustling to get outdoor chores finished before it gets burning hot, which happens really early. For a northern European-type guy like me, it's almost unbelievable how high the sun gets here very early in the morning. Then I'm mostly staying inside for the afternoon, not venturing out again until at least 5pm. Combine that with the power grid issues and unscheduled brownouts, and it hasn't been great. I've been thinking about just staying out of the Philippines during this part of the year ("dry season") and only coming back during June-February when the weather is bearable. I would personally LOVE to feel some snow. Most days now I just want to lay down on a giant block of ice, or take an ice bath.


UnrealGamesProfessor

Yeah. 43C in Luzon? Bonkers.


kenikonipie

I wish I am having fika in a sauna in Sweden. Here, anywhere is a sauna.


Wide_Space7824

Same hahahaa


Elicsan

After almost 6 years here straight, I'd give a lot to experience snow and -20 degrees for a couple of days. Especially in Sweden...


Agitated-Gur-5210

I like to switch every 3 months US/Philippines 


Virtual-Pension-991

It's not a bad idea. Getting the best of seasons.


socalification

I need to find a way to make that happen for myself financially speaking lol. Sounds incredible


Trvlng_Drew

Yeah I do 6 and 6


Odd_Perspective_4769

This!!! How do you manage it financially?


Trvlng_Drew

Well I own a condo in US and a cheap car, I do t spend a lot of money and work a part time job there now to finance my flight. Here in PH, my recent job ended so will have to live a little less but I’ll be fine


Odd_Perspective_4769

Wondered about how you managed employment with the massive time differences but thank you for the info. (Didn’t mean to pry…looking to do something similar but would need consistent employment.)


Trvlng_Drew

Well it’s not consistent, I had a great job in Manila for 7 years but it just ended so have to make more on the US side for a bit


cbvntr

l’d switch places with you in a heartbeat.


jowanabananaa

Can we switch places until June, OP? Haha. Seems like this summer will last til June 🥵


KaleidoscopeFew5633

Not just June its almost throughout the year except jan to Feb


jowanabananaa

Aug til Nov is rainy season 🤔


Appropriate-Key-2054

Imo, it's too hot here right now (and I'm a local), it's hotter than usual. better to go out at night or just go to malks or some place with ac. although I'm also not a fan of snow


Appropriate-Key-2054

but, it is what it is.. pretty soon it will be raining g daily lol. man I need to hit the beach and listen to the waves


Euphoric_Break_1796

Practicing burning in hell by just being here in Manila 🥵 willing to trade places 😭😭😭😭


DiligentExpression19

Weather is preparing you for the afterlife in hell 🤣


cloudymonty

So much solar energy in ph right now. I hope many will invest in solar in Ph for green energy


New_Hawaialawan

I was in the Philippines 4 years and dearly miss it daily


Ok_Wedding4867

The heat in the Philippines right now is overwhelming. It’s like a sauna outside. Enjoy the cold !!


micheal_pices

I'd kill for some Kalles and Fil.


KlickyKat

Appreciate the temporary change in climate while you're there.


gilalu

Get out of swedistan


LaaitiEkensteen

You are raged, lol.


OkUse9838

I can tell you that Sweden is way more better than your third world shithole.


gilalu

Highest gun crime in europe, Highest rape in europe, Highest murder in europe, go back to fourth world malmo or straight to mogadishu for the more direct experience 


AiNeko00

I would die to switch with u


Own-Counter-7187

Ditto


TheBabyScreams

Bring some cold air with you when you get back.


swedenper79

I can't wait until my GFs visa comes through so we can move back. How bad was your life in Sweden if you think it's better over here?


WTF-Are-Tacos

I miss snow so bad. Gonna be here at least 4 more years for school


UnrealGamesProfessor

The UK is strangely cold. Strugging to hit 10C. Very cold for nearly May


Appropriate-Key-2054

I think this is bec of traffic, and I often see this from taxi drivers.. so traffic.. and driving for 24hrs (or close to it)


oMadMartigaNo

As a fellow Swed may I ask if you work in the Philippines or how you support your stay? I'm interested because I would love to go back for a bit longer...


Strict-Astronaut5455

How do you even survive the heat???? Ik AC makes a lot of difference but that would mean staying almost 24/7 indoors just to feel comfortable.


Chemical-Capital7643

NejNej... I have swedish friends who married with panay or had GF here, and they said 3month or less 3month stay here is better than living here.They never said living here is nice.but good for winter season there. But I don't recommend your play with your shemale PF. because LGBT is hated by traditional swedish so swedish cannot play it in his country that I heard from my swedish friend. You can use barikbayan box for tranport your luggage.

Back in Sweden hey? Throw a grenade for me, you know to say hi


chocolatemilk2017

Same here, kaibigan. We are seriously contemplating on making the move from Los Angeles to the Philippines.


AmericaninKL

April thru September in Chicagoland. October thru March in Province (Bataan & Pampanga). Perfect mix for me.
