One scary way to beat the heat!
After leaving the cooler weather of Hokkaido to come back here it occured to me that I'll have to come up with a serious plan to keep comfortable.
With a little resourcefulness everything is possible.
I'll be happy to share some of my ideas with you once I come up with some. 
One thing that works I've found out is to take in a good scary movie at the theater. That's what I did yesterday and all the sweat on my body was gone. I went to see the film with my best movie-goer buddy Yoshiko and we were just cringing in our seats with fear.
Some of my Japanese friends have always been trying to tell me that a good scare in the summer can cool things down. Some of these same pals of mine enjoy telling a good ghost story from time to time in the summer. It really does the trick they say. There really must be something to it because I haven't seen a drop of perspiration since I left the theater yesterday.If you ask me I'd say there must be some kind of happening going on. Hey wait just a minute! What a coincidence! The title of the movie was "The Happening" Oh my!
