I do this all the time.  Travel to hot places and complain that I am too hot.  I don't do well in the heat and I sweat profusely.  I always say, if it is worth doing, do it well. I am really good at sweating. Some locals have a sweat cloth tucked into the back of their shirt they pull out every once in a while to wipe their face.  My sunscreen is wiped off very early in the day.  

It took me three days to get to Cebu.  A car, ferry, train, plane, bus, plane, taxi...most modes of transport.  Then a flight to Palawan the next day.  A long trip into the tribal area, Aborlan, in an open truck.  So bumpy.  A Filipino massage as they say.  Then a km walk to our accommodations mostly up hill in the heat. 

Open air sleeping but bug nets were all set up for us.  I prefer their bug nets to mine as they are up and not touching my skin.  No running water but buckets of water to wash in.  Did I say hot?  Yes, even at night it was hot.  Some of the people I travelled with were from hot climates and they did not seem to find it as hot as I did.  Thinner blood I think.  

I never did learn much of the lanuage, what I did learn I have mostly forgotten anyhow.
