Just before I left for Kyushu last week, that was the temp in my place in the morning with no airconditioning! 42 Degrees Celcius! It was like a sauna! There were puddles on the floor from my sweat!! (Is that a nice image? ;)) Thankfully, when i returned from Kyushu, it seemed like it cooled off a little in Osaka. At least the mornings and nights feel cooler. Probably after a few more weeks, and a few more rain storms, the temp will cool off in the afternoons too.
My Obon vacation was really nice and simple. I ate good food, slept a lot, drank a little too much but to counter the negative effects of the alcohol, I walked in the rice fields for about two hours every day and also went to a local hot spring for about 2 hours a day. The rice fields were everywhere I looked, all a beautiful green. Unexpectedly, it rained almost every day while I was in Kyushu. The rain is good for the rice fields and other vegtables and fruit in the farms, and good to cool off the temperature, but it wasn`t good for my barbecue!! But somehow, the barbecue managed to be a success!
Other than that, I watched a lot of the Olympics and high school baseball. It was fun and exciting, but to be honest I am a little sick of the Olympics now...It is the ONLY thing on tv...So please forgive me, but no Olympics talk today.
Also, I watched some good DVDs, but I will tell you about them next time, so look forward to it!
