Of course, the heatwave this year made things a bit uncomfortable for everyone, but the management did all the could to help - a nice fan was placed in our unit. During the final parade, with massive crowds, were were invited to the 2nd floor in a private room to view it perfectly - and they even brought cold drinks to us! ...
