Acclimatise means getting used to a certain climate. The sign board is from Kilimanjaro Airport, and I simply don't understand it:
Arusha is already cold, so, why would someone have a cold beer to cool down?
Weather changes significantly in June and July in Dar Es Salaam, which is usually tropically hot and humid. It gets colder, windier, more cloudy and less humid. The temperature drops from 32 to 25-27 degrees.
I never use air-condition, but during the past months I have switched off the fan. I sleep with two duvet covers, where I'd sleep with a kikoy the rest of the year.
I don't like it. I prefer it as tropically, steamy, hot humid as it gets.
A final note on the beer; It is not unusual that the waiter in your local bar asks if you like your beer warm or cold. It is usually a question which makes the majority of wazungu frown.
But you don't drink cold beer, if you are freezing for real, and I think a lot of Tanzanians are at the moment.
And this this is our winther.
