i went on holiday there years ago, admittedly in august. it was so hot, 47C after 8.30 am so we would get up at the crack of dawn to go into the sea which was like a lovely warm bath. the humidity was so high, we would only have stepped out of the hotel a minute or so to wait for a taxi and we would be drenched. so, i would advise lots of thin, cotton clothes and make sure your air conditioning is in good working order. the city is so modern, great shopping, i remember buying some shoes in debenhams. you can only drink alcohol inside hotels as there are no bars or pubs. hope you have a great time, enjoy it, embrace the change, it will broaden your horizons and give you great future prospects im sure. i would love to try it.
