Atsui desu ne!

Today is the second consecutive day where I have not heard a single person say this phrase. And, I am SO EXCITED! "Atsui desu ne!" means "It sure is hot, huh?" and it functions as much as a commentary on the heat and humidity as a common summer greeting.

These past two days have been nice. The temperature barely touched 90F and the humidity was a bit lower too. No standing directly in front of the fan, no multiple showers a day just to cool off, no sticking to all of the furniture, not requiring a liter of ice water just to walk out of the front door... Maybe, just maybe, fall and cooler weather are really on their way. Thank God!
