Things are heating up around Kobe with temperatures approaching early summer numbers, and that means some changes around here. Iced coffees, short sleeve dress shirts, and taking out the smelly garbage on time become much more important. Carrying a handkerchief to mop up the sweat, turning on the AC once in a while, and turning down the household water temperature are all going to start happening in the near future.

I’m not ready for the summer yet.

This will be my first summer hiking 15 minutes in the heat from the station to work, so it should prove to be pretty sweaty, especially in the morning right after my shower. I have air conditioning at work, but it will be interesting to see just how hot and sweaty it gets every day.
