D) Other

And speaking of the cicadas, if they are out and making noise every day, then that means it is HOT!!
So, how do you beat the heat?

My Answer: I drink a lot of fluids. My drinks of choice are: mineral water, sparkling water, beer, and shochu. Also, from time to time, I have a sports drink like Pocari or Aquarius, to quench my thirst. Btw, which do you prefer Pocari sweat or Aquarius? Me, well, there is no comparison. Pocari for sure.

In addition, I take many cold showers and cold baths. I also wear shorts and short-sleeve shirts as much as possible.

Here are some other ideas:
Blast the air con.
Use a hand fan.
Use an electric fan.
Use a parasol, or wear a big hat.
Stay in the shade as much as possible.
Eat ice cream.
