Venezuelans LOOOVE air conditioning

I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE IT!!!!
I blame every ounce of my not feeling well to the stupid overly powerful air conditioning in this country. It´s in every office building (where I teach 3x a day), it`s in the cars, it´s in the metros (probably a good idea), it´s in the posadas, it´s everywhere inside, luckily not in my flat.
I felt my sore throat coming on in the middle of Friday night sleeping under the air conditioner in our posada near Morrocoy. Now it has progressed to a full-fledged head cold and aching body. I hate it.
It is 90 degrees outside and to make up for it, they put Minnesota´s winter temperatures inside everywhere they can. They just love their air conditioning, and have no clue why they get sick so often. It rains nearly everyday- so I´ll go from hot, wet and happy to freezing cold and miserable just by entering any door. It seriously is like a 40 degree difference. It can´t be healthy to subject yourself to the drastic temperature drop day after day, time after time... yesterday I slept for 14 hours straight to try and rid myself of this crap before this coming weekend at another beach. Because the beach makes me feel O SO GOOD!!!!!
