Staying cool on the road

Just last month, it rained everyday in Toronto, and now we're in the middle of a heat wave. The other day it was 50 degrees Celsius with the humidity, which feels like living in a sauna. Also, watching guys from Toronto walk around shirtless is also a very unpleasant experience (somehow it's been universally acknowledged that men in Toronto are all very unattractive).

How do you guys stay cool during the hot summer heat?

Here are some of my favourites:

1. Pack a water bottle. 
It's easy and eco-friendly. My favourite trick is to fill it with water and freeze it in the freezer overnight. The water stays cold for majority of the day. Genius.

2. Wear white clothing.
I used to wear a lot of black back in high school (but then again, I also liked Metallica and Nine Inch Nails). Since then, I've developed a love for wearing white, and now I can't live without the pile of white t-shirts I have in my closet. White is great for staying cool on sunny days, and it also looks good on when you have a nice tan!

3. Eat ice cream.
I don't think an explanation is necessary. Freezies and slushies are equally good.

4. Hit the beach!
Ahh, I'd give anything to be on a beach right now in Australia, Spain or Morocco. Not only is it the perfect place to go surfing or swimming, it's the perfect place to get your summer tan and show off your rock hard abs that resulted from your New Years Resolution gym work-out plan. Or if you're like 99% of the population who ditch said resolutions a week later, it's still a prime spot to meet a cute surfer.
