    It's really tough on you all, coming to this 'exile' of a place. Even we locals can't stand it.

      It's so tough being a local here.

        You should try some Guangdong herbal tea. Isn't there tons of it in Guangzhou? By any chance, were you born on a Geng-Xin day and need to avoid 'fire'?

          Wow, master, you're spot on! I'm a Geng-Shen with a 'weak self' element.

            We locals experience this too, especially in August. Stepping outside, it's so hot you feel like you're running out of oxygen. The humidity is so heavy, you feel like a fish gasping for air on dry land.

              Wow, the weather in Guangzhou a couple of days ago... air humidity was 93%! I seriously felt like if I didn't evolve gills soon, I'd drown on dry land.

                The 'fire' element clashes with me. I'm in Guangzhou, so I drink herbal tea every day.

                  That sounds really tough! You probably favor 'metal' and 'water' elements too. Right now, I'm in Beijing, and everything feels much more comfortable for me here.

                    I really can't take it anymore. My whole body feels uncomfortable, and I have a sore throat.

                      Mine's sore too! Yesterday, being outside, I felt like I could faint any second.

                        Having some (herbal tea) might help. It's been raining the past few days, making the weather especially muggy. It's perfectly normal to feel unwell.

                            Anyone who thrives in 'fire' energy should head straight to Guangzhou!

                              Oh, you poor thing! But seriously, it's been unbearable these last few days – so muggy, damp, and hot.

                                You're welcome to come to Beijing to dry out!

                                    It's been raining so much lately. I feel incredibly down every day, like I'm at my breaking point, and my temper is really short.
