it's summer... or is it?
Just when weather establishes a pattern of soul-destroying heat and humidity, you get a day like today when it's cold all day and rainy. Sadly it looks like the weather is going to continue this cycle of way too hot and way too cold for at least the next week or so. I guess I shouldn't complain too loudly though, as I'd rather have occasional breaks from the heat and humidity before summer finally takes its horrible hold.Things have been good lately. Lots of stuff to do, between Sanja Matsuri (huge festival in Asakusa), a trip to Disney Sea a Japanese baseball game and hundreds of other small things. It seems like my weekends are never entirely mine though. In that respect I very much miss Benin. There I was busy, but it was the sort of busy that let me sleep as much as I wanted and stay at my house the hours that I wanted to stay at home. Of course along with that came chores that simply don't exist here. Washing my clothes in Benin was a 2 hour affair, having to prepare things entirely from raw ingredients, and frequent market trips.
Even so, weather and business aside I'm having a good time.
Sadly though, we're now entering the season of goodbyes. It won't be but 2 months before most of my ALT friends will leave, or will have left. I guess that means we'll also be getting a ton of new faces, but they'll be annoying and new for at least a few months. Ugh.
