In London now. So fucking hot. I pay like $4k USD for this flat that is barely even acceptable living accommodation on a cold day.

My kitchen hit 37C. I started to look for a new flat. Nothing with AC, but trying to find something on the ground floor. Unfortunately rent is incredibly expensive here even for an old building that barely has functioning water pressure.

I’m really torn about London right now.
