There is a typhoon slowly creeping over the island, so the humidity is up at 100%. Sleeping last night was a nightmare, as the temps don't go down when the typhoons come through.
The funny thing is, everyone in Tokyo talks about "it's a big one! Danger! Danger!!!" They are all going to talk about it at work today, and probably some people will suggest going home early. Down at the other end of the country (Kagoshima, and the islands down there), a typhoon usually really is bad, as it causes much damage and flooding. But up here in Tokyo we get strong winds and some rain.
Oh my god! Rain! That's another thing the Tokyoites complain about: rain. The thing is, this is the dry side, so they don't like the rain. I, on the other hand, come from Fukui where it usually rains about 3-4 days a week during the dry season, so rain in Tokyo is a blessing to me.
However, when it does rain, those stinky Japanese men get even worse on the trains because the trains turn into a "cool sauna"... Imagine cold air blasting in the trains, and sweat running down your back, and soaking your armpits, and the nape of your neck. Then imagine the bodies of 100% of the 499 other people crammed into your train doing the same thing, but NOT wearing anti perspirant...
