First Impressions

Japan in the summer is a brutally inhospitable place for four palefaces from Northern Ireland, which is mainly why we started this blog so late. Temperatures in the mid-30s and humidity that hits you like a wet duvet as soon as you leave the confines of your apartment made our first weeks here somewhat undignified. So we didn't want to write about that.

However, as the temperature is now beginning to drop to a more agreeable 25 degrees, we can once again begin to function as human beings again instead of scaring passers-by and restauranteurs with our impressive feats of perspiration.
