The Weather

Japan has four seasons that are scheduled like time work!! Each season is 3 months each so it is easy to buy clothes for each of the ones. The hardest season to cope with is the summer. Everyone that I have ever met from every country I tell the summer season is brutal. They all say I'm okay because my country is also hot. I can handle it. I smile every time because I know they are in for a rude awakening. For those of you who do not know how hot it is, imagine you are in a sauna and you stay in it until you can't take it anymore. You come out and that rush of cool air makes you say, “Ahh....” and you can breathe fresh, undisturbed air again. Now imagine you are walking outside in Japan and the only time you get that “Ahh” moment is when you go into an air-conditioned room or train. If you don't have that, welcome to the sauna 24 hours a day. Yes, this feeling lasts through the night!

I apologize for not sent out blogs so much but the weather and summer events have made it harder to do.
