H.O.T.
I just got back to Tokyo from a month and a half in wintry Australia and blimey! The heat is overwhelming. It was 25+ degrees over night and like a Sauna out there again today. I don’t know whether to go drinking to cool down or just to stay off the sauce altogether. A hang-over is the last thing you need in this heat…
Luckily the Japan Times has some tips on how to avoid succumbing to heat exhaustion, 夏ばて- pronounced NATSUBATE.
They include Sleep, Exercise, Sobayu, eel, cold fish soup and no nastubating(!).
Thanks to Houston for the image.
Good to have you back J, you couldn’t have chosen a better time of the year ;)
Tell me about it… Actually it’s not too bad as for now I am enjoying the sun after the cold and rain of Australia. I guess I’ll get fed up of the heat soon, but it should start cooling down within a month, so I’ll survive.
