Living in a Sauna

Summer in Tokyo. It's not pleasant. I guess like Florida, hot and very humid, sort of like living in a sauna or walking to a bathroom right after someone's taken a hot shower, only it happens when ever you walk outside. My apartment has an air-conditioner, but I try not to use it too much, because I don't want to get used to it, and I don't want to see the bill at the end of the month. One of my students said that her brother is married to an American, and that she goes back to the US for two months ever July and August to avoid the humidity.

My cousin Kyle is in China right now. He says that it's hot an humid there too. He'll be visiting my in Tokyo for a few days starting next Friday. It's been more than a year since I got here, and including my year in College here, he's only the second person who's visited me here. Even my parents haven't. Kelsey was in Tokyo once, but she was lost in the red light district, and didn't visit me. Mom says that she's applying for a passport though, so maybe I'll see them this fall.
