Summer and Jet Lag
Good morning!
Good Morning in many, many languages.
GOOD MORNING!!ヾ(゜▽゜●;)゛
Kanto’s rain season is done…
And the sun shines brightly in the blue sky.
The cicadas cry with such energy.
It felt like a hot summer where I could melt.
It has been a week since I returned from overseas, And the Japanese summer has finally arrived...
【I’m feeling the jet lag (´ д \●)゛】
[WEDNESDAY]
(209th day of 2016)
Currently feeling the effects of the time difference and jet lag.
I find myself waking up at night multiple times.
But it kind of makes me feel happy to be able to wake up early, and enjoy a long & fulfilling day...
Today, there were a lot of clouds here.
Although it was hot, the weather was manageable.
Takoyaki, bread, tamagoyaki (grilled eggs) and mini pork-cutlet burger.
Today, into the evening, there were a lot of clouds.
It might mean that tomorrow is the end of the rainy season...
If the rainy season ends, that means the days will be like the summer blue skies of San Francisco.
I wonder if the rainy season will end...
[THURSDAY]
(210th day of 2016)
It seems like the rainy season has ended in the Kanto region.
And the summer where you can hear the cicada cries has come.
Today was a hot Thursday.
Because of the jet lag, I woke up at 2 o’clock last night.
I was awake since 4am this morning… but…
Because of that, I could see the sky during the morning dawn.
Waking early in the morning… I feel like lived a fulfilling day…
And doing so makes me really happy.
[FRIDAY]
(211th day of 2016)
I woke up early again today.
The hot air is around since the early morning, making me know that today would become hot…
With that thought in mind, the sky was blue,
And the cicadas keep on crying since morning…
The sky is just as blue as the one in San Francisco.
However, with the tree shade protecting me from the hot sun, I could feel the gentle air.
And as the wind blows gently… it feels great.
With the cicadas crying among the trees, and feeling the gentle wind,
I hope the weekend will be just as warm…
[SATURDAY]
(212th day of 2016)
The air is hot under this summer sky today,
And Shibuya is filled with a lot of people…
There are candidates for the gubernatorial election shaking hands with passersby…
And those playing Pokemon GO…
There are also so many cars and trains and buildings...
And it really, really, really feels hot…
In that heat, although I was inside most of the time…
And when I was on my way home, there were more people…
I don’t do well with large crowds… so I felt dizzy…
As it got dark on my way home, while getting off the bus, I saw people doing the Bon Dance in the park…Summer really has come...
[SUNDAY]
(213th day of 2016)
This morning, the sun shines bright in the blue sky yet again
And the clouds are like cotton candy…
but…Among them, one of them was large, covering a large portion of the sky…And started to rain.
Yet, the skies in the distance, you could see the blue sky through the clouds.
And when the rain passed, there were so many cotton candy clouds in the sky…
I just hope it doesn’t rain on my way home…
The town after the rain is much more humid,
Becoming a building jungle of heat…
On such a Sunday, as I looked up into the sky,
I could never get tired of the view above.
Thank you for your hard work this week, everyone.
With the very, very, very hot summer of Japan,
Do not forget to hydrate yourselves.
May you enjoy the summer with warmth and happiness…
It is the start of a new month, August…
May everyone spend this new month, and week, well and with warmth.
May each day and hour of the week
Be filled with kindness and gentleness...
May a gentle wind… kindly blow in everyone’s heart...
It’s alright. It’s alright.
The wind has blown…
Now feel it and live your life!! \(´ ▽｀●)゛
【May the world be swept with a wind… filled with kindness and warmth…】
Never let the warm wind disappear.
【Once again this week… one step at a time… may today continue onto a warm and gentle tomorrow…】
To a new month and a new week…
Have a safe journey!!
Today again, I really thank everyone in the world.
