It’s been a very hot summer in Japan. Even in September the high temperature doesn’t seem to go down.  News says it’s the hottest record ever over last 100 years. 

Last year I spent the summer time in New Zealand, and sometimes I lived in Hawaii in summer time. Compared to those places, Japanese climate is crazy.  People say Japan is already in subtropical zone. Indeed, this hot climate is unbearable, not like comfortable Hawaiian hot climate.

I sometimes visited home electronics appliance shops this summer for purchase of an air conditioner.  Answers I got from them were that I needed to wait for weeks to get it becuase over-demand. Makers can’t catch up with the upcoming orders.

I really missed the cool summer of NZ this time although I left NZ with a thought of never- returning. 

When I came back to Japan last year after 5 year stay in NZ, I really had a feeling that I finally arrived in the home town of my heart.  More of less the feeling is still true,  it will not fade as long as I live. 

But choosing the best place for life is not always giving me an answer that I have to live in Japan all the time.  That’s not what I expected when I got back in Japan.

I don’t know where to live next time……
