It's hot

So, I'm in Tokyo right now. I've been site seeing and spending time with friends mostly. I'll make a post about that later. For now, I just want to say that Tokyo is really... really... reallyreallyreally HOT! Truthfully, it's has been difficult to go site seeing because of the heat. I have experienced a lot of extreme weather in Japan and this is yet another experience. I mean, Oita was a warm place, Nagasaki was a little warmer, and I had difficulty sleeping in Osaka sometimes because it was pretty hot, but Tokyo is freaking insane! Luckily, I am one of those people that has a tendency to take vitamins and drink a lot of water; so, I have been okay. Other people living in the Tokyo area haven't been so fortunate though, as people have started dying. Japan's national record for heat was last set in 1933 at 105.4 degrees F. Yesterday it was 105.6. Freaking crazy, right?! Now keep in mind that the humidity here is about 80%. Well... you get the idea. It's hot. Just thought that I would share that with you all.
