Smelly tennis shoes?

Now here is a remarkable fact. When I lived in California, and especially when I drove down the Mississippi valley on a trip back to the US last summer, I noticed the old problem of bad smell developing in my tennis shoes. Disgusting and ineradicable!

Amazingly this does not happen here in Thailand?

Why?

Years ago as an engineer I used to consult on legal problems arising from mold in houses. Erin Brokovitch was my client! What I learned is that mold grows best at moderate temperatures, not where it is very hot. Even the mold can't stand Bangkok in the hot season!

Sleep without aircon

My (Thai) wife not using air conditioning at night late this week (in the Bangkok hot season) when midweek freak rains (causing serious local flooding) cooled Bangkok very nicely and brought night breezes from the lovely north.

However, this is,  as always, with a table fan directed at the bed.

less than this, you don't need it.
