I think that the rainy season has officially started in Japan. I go outside and look up to see if the clouds show signs of rain, I carry an umbrella everywhere, and take advantage of any sun that comes for laundry. Since I hang all of my laundry outside to dry and I walk all of the time, knowing what the weather is or will be like has become a much more important thing to know in my life. Today it isn't raining but there is major cloud coverage. I was hoping to lay out on the roof and try to tan a little. Next month, I'm in a friend's wedding and would like to get a little bit of color so I'm not as white as a sheet! Maybe tomorrow...I can only hope!
