============================
Davey! What's the weather like? Is it getting cold there? In the old days it was all rice paper walls and charcoal braziers, but I'm sure that's different now. Do you freeze your butt off all the time? Have you seen any cherry orchards and been to the cherry blossom things? (guess that probably happens in the spring).
============================
first, lately its been basically sunny, but it has been getting colder and its been averaging 11 deg C
roughly 50 deg F, so not too bad yet, especially if you were raised in the middle of WI, its nice actually.
Having said that, there is a huge difference between Japanese housing and American, INSULATION, not much in my apartment building, so that means night gets cold
for those of you who know, its like 250 state and then some worse, but i have 2
mega thick blankets and nothing has gotten through em so far, im trying to see how long
i can put off using the heat, yeh, stupid i know, but whatever
so thats that on the current temperature situation
on to the spring bit, yes cherry blossom viewing does happen in the spring
it's called はなみ for those of you who dont see the japanese hiragana
its ha-na-mi, means cherry blossom viewing parties etc. if you've ever been
to Washington DC and seen the cherry blossoms, well, they were a gift from Japan
and its a big deal here and i intend to get in on the fun next spring, We arrived in April
and thats towards the end of the hanami season.
but we did get a nice bit at Nagoya Castle on our first day in japan
i know its not the best picture, i'd recommend checking jo's photos
they are beautiful andits great weather.
I've touched on the fact that the Japanese work hard, but they do know
how to kick back and really enjoy life.
so, that was fun, please keep the questions coming, that way, you get to hear things you want
to hear,
SO COMMENT, i won't quote your name if you dont want to
even silly questions could be fun, ask me stuff, why not
its good times! rock out
