Back from Japan

The jet lag is mostly gone but I'm still not used to the climate. I remember when I first arrived in Japan I thought the airport was incredibly stuffy. It was a clingy type of heat that you could almost swallow. It felt quite uncomfortable to breath. I decided to go outside the airport to get some fresh air. That's when a wall of heat much warmer and much more stuffy than the one inside the airport hit me. That was probably my first surprise. It was almost similar to being in a sauna. I wanted to go somewhere cooler but it wasn't an option. You just have to endure it. After the first week of continually repeating "Wow, I can't believe how hot it is!" I began to get used to it.

More that just get used to it, I began to like it. I have always been a lover of good weather and this lovely sunshine wasn't something I was going to complain about it. My girlfriend would sometimes remark that it was too hot. I simply thought about how cold it is in England and decided to be grateful of the weather here in Japan. Now that I'm back in England I have been treated to much rain, clouds and dull weather. Today I wore a coat and a jumper.

Enough of the weather. Japan was amazing, the two most amazing weeks of my life so far. I can't really offer a better description but I hope to write a few blog posts in the future about my various discoveries. After getting home and reviewing the pictures and video I had taken I was disappointed to find that I had failed to capture just how wonderful it was. Both the pictures and videos felt flat as I watched them back and failed to do it any justice. Perhaps it's one of those things you simply have to see for yourself Smileing
