I have been hearing it on the news and online. “The rainy season has started in Japan”. Well so what I thought to myself, a bit of rain won’t hurt anybody. How wrong I was, about the first part that is, the part about “a bit of rain“.
A few days ago I had my first experience with the rainy season in Japan. It was like a Amazon torrential monsoon unleashed upon Japan, and my poor little head.
Bad things about Japans rainy season:
- Humid, hot, wet and clammy.
- You can’t hang out your clothes after they get wet because of the rain, because of the rain.
- Sitting in the office with wet clothes does not increase productivity.

Good things about Japans rainy season :
- Fresh freshwater supply.
- Everybody complains about the rain, so you have something in common with everybody and your all friends for the day.
- Umbrella’s failing… you know what I’m talking about ;).
