Tokyo Evening

7pm in Tokyo - heading out for dindins and evening walk. Rainy season is officially over and the heat is starting to turn up giving a humid feeling.
We've removed the carpet in the living room as we do every summer and brought out the straw mats that we use on our futons.
We first relocated to Japan in the Summer so the sounds, smells and temperature always brings back that fresh feeling and thought in my mind - "I made it to Japan. I love it here!"
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

For some reason this year, our rainy season is continuing even though it's mid July. We're still waiting for those high summer temps. Well at least everything is green and not brown like it usually is.

Ahh, it sure is good to have rainy season during winter. I hate being humid, one of the features of transition from winter to spring.

Prefer the dry heat here in NYC over humid weather. Humidity plays havoc with my knees.

Lovely photo.
If there's something I don't like about the summer, it would have to be the humidity. Thankfully, Philippine summers are more on the dry side, but the heat can be too much at times.

Weather in LA only varies from warm to uncomfortably hot. At least it's not usually as hot as in places like Vegas or Arizona :)

The worst part is when you have to open a car that has been parked in the sun for hours. You could probably add another 5-10 degrees. I miss June when it was relatively cool.
Student
Yeah, I usually try to park in the shade, but on some days not even that helps.

I came the first time in summer also, 10 years ago. The smell is particular and the humidity is huge. Summer was the first contact with Japan, the first feelings, and the first time to learn how to live here.

Vancouver is kinda random... it was cloudy for most of the day today and sometimes there's rain when you don't expect it... Nice cool weather at least.
Well one of the reason I didn't want to go to Japan in summer is because I hear the heat is quite unbearable >_<

Toronto has had a terrible summer so far. We get one good day, and then 5 mild days, for July it being only 12C this morning was terrible.
I want to visit Japan in August and just enjoy the heat.

The weather in Malaysia is often hot and humid throughout the year with occasional haze around May to September.
Either its hot or wet over here. So you don't feel how fast time past by due to such weather. xD;

Yea the summer is finally here, and it feels good. Its the same for me, I remember when I first came to Japan almost 3 years ago... Though I was living in Osaka, and now in the far end of Miyazaki prefecture...
One more year here and I'll head up to Chiba prefecture, to really start my life... (I hope hehehe)

I hate humid, warm weather... can't deal with it..I stay inside in the cool+shade and wait till its cooled down... I love winter to bits, even if its freezing, cos you can wrap up in loads of layers, not like summer, where, once you've stripped off a certain amount of clothing, you can't take off anymore, and if your still hot...you stay that way... evil global warming...

Every once in a while, when I go back and visit alot of the same places that I had previously visited, I harken back to the very first trip that I made to Japan. It reminded me of how new and exciting every thing looked.

I'm sitting here in San Francisco shrouded in fog. I wouldn't mind some hot weather for a change. When we do get the really warm weather here everyone is soooo happy, because it's rather uncommon.

Very much agreed. But I think that Japan in August might just beat Houston in humidity and overall uncomfortableness.
In my travels, the most humid place I ever been to was Cambodia and Thailand. I drank over 2 litters of water and was still so dehydrated that I almost fell out. Was wearing everything I drank. lol

between the two, i would rather have hot season. at least that can be mitigated by my trusty electric fan. can't say the same for a cold weather that usually follows after a downpour...

Summer is nice. Though summers here are less humid.

Well, actually, the weather I like the most is just before a large rain shower:) Antiscipation in the air...
