Another lunch time walk, another batch of podcast episodes. Today he was talking about Japanese summer and how it’s too hot. Given I was out for a walk in 2C, I could have used that! It was interesting how he compared Japanese summer to Californian summer, as I have been to California during the summer. I do agree the humidity makes a big difference, I could handle 40C in California easier than I can handle 30C at home. I thought he was stepping around the word for humidity but actually he included it in his translations at the end, so I guess I just missed where it was used in the script.
Also a rare topical episode (or topical at time of recording). He’d done an episode on the Tokyo olympics, then two more episodes later had a followup on the fact that Japan allowed it to go ahead during COVID because he’d had comments after the first episode.
