Humidity, earthquake, and typhoon
Oh how I missed you, Japan!
It’s been more than two weeks since we arrived here. I hope to do a more detailed post later, but I wanted to do a quick update to talk about three things.
Humidity
Oh my frigging sweaty balls! I forgot how humid and uncomfortable summer can be in Japan. We change our pajamas daily because we wake up every morning in a pool of our own sweat.
Earthquake
Niigata area was hit again with a big earthquake. It looks pretty scary, but fortunately for us we were not affected.
Typhoon
The day after we went to Kyushu, a pretty big typhoon entered the country. We were greeted with rain and some strong wind, but we escaped the worst from this potential disaster, too. In other areas people suffered landslides and drowning.
Time and time again I’m reminded of the resilience of the people here. We feel lucky to have survived these things!
