Adventures in Japan

Ow! My Butt!

Seriously. That was one spicy burger.

It Is Still Hot

We should go to the beach more often. We went today. It was nice.

We went to the beach because there was a mall near the beach and in the parking lot of this mall near the beach, K-106 played a couple gigs. They played their hearts out in the hot sun, took an hour break and then did it again.

After that, we ate some burgers. One of the few (countable on one hand with fingers to spare) where something advertised as spicy actually was. It really, really was.

Hot Hot Heat

The rainy season is done. The forecast forecasts that the temperature isn't going to dip below 27 during this week. That's right, the overnight low is in the upper twenties. With no end in sight. And no rain. And for once, I believe the forecasters. Cuz nature agrees.

The Cicadas are out. They're way more reliable than any satellite forecast or whatever. When they come out, it means summer has started.

Let the games begin. And by games, I mean sitting around, doing as little as possible and still sweating buckets.

Forces of Nature

Just a couple quick notes: thanks for all the birthday well wishes.

And neither the typhoon or the earthquake did any damage near us. We're all fine over here.

Too Tired to Title

During our time back in Canada, we were often asked when we were coming back for good. We said we hoped to be back by next summer. I think there's a very good chance for that. We were in no way ready to come back to Japan.

When we stepped off the plane in Osaka, it was like being smacked around by a steamed salmon. It stank, and was so hot and wet. 26 degrees and 72 percent humidity. And it was dark. It was 7:30 and it was completely dark.

All in all, a bit of a shock to the system.
