I think we might have seen the same video.

It happens in other places in Asia as well, not only Hong Kong. It's quite uncomfortable to go from ~34C and 98% humidity, to an environment at ~20C and less than 50% humidity. I'm surprised people don't get more respiratory illnesses more often.

I've gotten faint simply exiting an air-con'd MTR to the full heat 100% humidity at an outdoor station.

It's a waste for the acclimatized locals.

When I was in Asia, I experienced that also.

First it was hard for me and making me sick, but then I got used to it also.

For a westerner, it might be hard to imagine constantly living with high temperatures like that. And for example having to sleep everyday with such climate.

Plenty of "western" countries and regions have similar climates.
