My chronicles in Japan
A Japanese Sauna
When I arrived in Japan it was late July and HOT in DC. I was lucky enough to go on ANA airlines. I hate flying and only flew once when I was 4 from Detroit to DC. That was the last time I flew. I always take the bus - as you can see - or drive. Unlike the other airlines that half of the group went on, ANA had no reported accidents, hijacking, drunk pilots, or problems. It gave me some form of assuredness, not to mention the excitement of the trip, the business class seats, the other excited participants who talked excitedly the entire trip, and the cocktails I drank to relax. When I stepped out of Tokyo Narita airport, it literally felt like an oven. It was SOOOO HOT and Humid!!! The real temperature felt like it was OVER 100 degrees. It was so hot, it deemed hard to breathe. Like you only inhaled hot stuffy air. Horrible if you are jogging, exercising, or even only walking. Unlike most of the other assignments, I had to work everyday. That was a mile plus walk daily in the burning heat. At 8am, it felt like 90 plus degrees. When they let us go around 3pm, it had to be around 110 degrees with over 75% humidity. I didn’t know Japan could get so hot. I would literally sit around the office until 5:30 just to let the sun set a bit.
