out of the frying pan...

sitting down to a fairly typical afternoon of earthquake announcements on TV (actually narita airport has been closed), sounds of a local matsuri (fesival) in the distance and fans doing their best to move the hot air around.

at the end of a busy week, yuka and I are basking in 5 days off work. we saw danny krivit, down-town, last night where we enjoyed some very classy house until the wee oors. it was really the perfect tonic for a hot night: go somewhere even hotter and dance for 5 hours solid. it was a good crowd and the grand cafe is certainly a great venue.

Yuka has 'sweat-blisters' too, but my heat bumps are all over my feet and hands. slightly worrying, but as my unfazed wife puts it, I'm just "acclimatising".

She received some lovely rice sweets from her work - presumably for working un-godly hours for the past while - and they are the type with flakes of gold in them. as if to concrete the view that japan is an expensive place to live, even the sweets are made of gold.
