Cruel and unusual

A friend of mine is visiting Singapore on a business trip, and as he was free this weekend, I took him and a colleague to the zoo. Unluckily for him, I hadn't taken into account that people need more than a few hours sat in air-conditioned meeting rooms to acclimatise themselves to Singapore's heat and humidity. They weren't jet lagged, but they also weren't prepared to traipse around the lush, warm pathways of the zoo. I'm vicious sometimes, I know.
