Tokyo is in the midst of a hot summer and it has been very humid so far. Every time you step outside it is like stepping into a sauna, with thick and syrupy air. I forget every year how hot it gets, but I am quickly reminded when the humidity rolls around and you can't even walk to the station without breaking a sweat, no matter how casually you are dressed. I have been trying to stay inside for the most part because it is really miserable to try and get out and do stuff. Aside from work, I have been hanging around my neighborhood and I decided to snap a few pictures from around where I live.
I popped into one of my favorite local restaurants, Ootoya, for their delicious chicken nanban and some green tea.
But after being outside for a little while, even just popping out for dinner, I quickly decide that it is more comfortable in my air conditioned apartment and head back. Even after the sun goes down, the humidity just doesn't stop. But it has been a good summer so far. I haven't been able to make it to the beach yet, but I am planning on going next weekend! I need a break from the hot city and all of it's concrete!
And a Japanese cemetery outside of the city, on my way to work.
You are not the only one who has had hot weather. It has been very hot and humid here.I burn up and sweat at home and freeze to death in the air conditioning at work. I can't be satisfied.BUT! There is no concrete here to speak of.
