Tokyo, 2008.08.04

This morning the news report on the radio said that the temperature was about 30oC before 08:00. By the time I left the office, the air was .. well, I imagine I know what it's like to stick your face into the exhaust pipe of a car.

The best thing about the day was that Chako came by for a brief visit on her way to see her family. It was "only" a year ago that I last saw her in T.O. but what a year!
