Scorchioooooooo

As spring slowly slips into summer time here in Japan, something happens....it gets hot, and when I say hot I mean HOOOOOOOOTTTT as in "I think my internal organs are melting" hot. You might have heard of the cool biz campaign. In which Japanese business men are encouraged to through away that old long sleeve shirt, t shirt and tie combo and replace them with, well a short sleeve shirt combo but still you get the basic idea. Of course leader of the fashion parade Mr. Koisumi (he of lion hair) set the trend and since then Japanese salary men have been slightly more relaxed. Anyway this article about teachers in England walking out of hot class rooms is something I can appreciate, its one thing trying to teach kids who might not like learning but when its 26 degrees + outside, your hot, the kids are slumping over their desks its another thing.
