Btw it's Summer Now.

I remember my first weeks in Japan. Our bedroom was the cozy recluse from the cold, boasting blankets and, foremost, a heater. I remember having to put on my coat to go downstairs at night just to use the washroom, and I remember my first experiences with Canadian stereotyping:

Me: "Boy it's cold today!"
Non-Canadian: "Woah, but aren't you from CANADA?" (i.e. the coldest place on earth where the people are immune to such things as "the cold")

And then we had spring, when there were comfortable temperatures and much rain. But not anymore.

Quite suddenly, it's summer now, and I'm wondering how I ever felt cold here. The heat is a blanket of stifling air and humidity, and once again our heater -- now an air conditioner -- is allowing only one room of our apartment to be comfortable.

This worries me.

I dealt with the cold, though it was frustrating at times, but heat is a strange new creature for me. To perpetuate stereotypes, I, as a person who has really never left Newfoundland, is not used to consistent 30 degree weather. This might end me. I remember the rare day in Newfoundland when the temperature would approach 30, and I would not leave the house for fear of heat stoke and sunburn. I can't imagine how Adam survived his first summer here without the air conditioner!

In any case, there are worse things. I may decide that I love the heat, who knows? I'm not complaining, I'm just... worried. I'll keep you posted :)
