Think that's air you're breathing now?

First of all I'd like to thank the people who are commenting on my blog, both on the comments field and on MSN and Skype. It really does give me fuel to write more =)

Anyway, I thought I'd stick in one extra entry today regarding the weather here so far. I don't really know how many degrees there are here now, but it somtimes gets so insanely hot that it gets to the point of being a real burden. It's about 9:30 am here now, and when you walk out the entrance you are met with a hot wall of humid air instead of a cool breeze which I'm used to back in Sweden. Fortunately, quite every building has AC here, which is vital...

Try to picture a subtropical climate. Add to that, about 28-30 degrees celsius. Add to that, the body heat of a few thousand people waiting for a train. It's times like this I envy the japanese people's lack of perspiration. While we swedes sweat out arses off, the japanese people stand there seemingly unaffected. It all gets better when the train arrives and we all mash under the divine breeze of the AC. Seriously though, people would die in these trains if it weren't for the AC.

It's funny, when we were walking in Harajuku yesterday... someone said "Let's get inside and get some fresh air". It took about five seconds before we realized how ironic this comment really was.
