A trip to Chengdu is a good way to spice up your life Being from Arizona makes one accustomed to heat. Sunny days in the 45-50 C range are frequent enough that a common claim is that you can cook your eggs, or even a steak, right there on the sidewalk. It's wise to wear gloves when driving to avoid burning your hands on the steering wheel. I don't miss it. 来自亚利桑那州让人习惯了炎热。45-50 C 范围内的晴天非常频繁，以至于人们普遍认为您可以在人行道上煮鸡蛋，甚至牛排。开车时最好戴手套，以免双手被方向盘烫伤。我不会错过它。 The heat I do miss is the culinary type.
