I decided to take a 15 hour speedboat ride to get from one city to the next in the Amazon region of Brazil. Because it's a daytime trip and because it is consistently hot as balls here, I decided I would wear a short sleeve button up and some shorts. Wrong move. You see, I forgot the fundamental rule that all Brazilian public transport must be cooled to near-arctic levels. I have 13 hours to go, and I am seriously uncomfortable. I'm currently using a backpack to shield myself from the shearing winds of the very aggressive air conditioning unit and a bucket hat to cover part of one leg.

If you are ever taking a bus or any form of transportation for an extended period of time in Brazil, DO NOT forget a blanket. Even if it's in the middle of summer. They don't mess around with the A/C, and it's a slow and painful death.

TL;DR. Took a little trip on a speedboat in Brazil with no blanket, and now, unexpectedly, I'm going to freeze to death in a tropical country.
