25ºC, partly cloudy to sunny skies.
That's pretty much what was forecast for the week I'm here. The perfect holiday weather.
But when we're at the cusp of a new season, the only thing we can predict about the weather is that it's unpredictable.
Rain clouds swung by on Tuesday, the day I went to DisneySea. And it poured Wednesday morning. Good thing I was ready for a cold, cold autmn. I brought enough clothes to wear in layers.
But summer came back on Thursday. I'd checked in most of my luggage in the locker at the train station and walked around with my camping gear (was planning to go camping that evening but never made it).
Sweat poured out of pores I never knew I had as I lugged every kilogramme of the dead weight — around Shinjuku, Harajuku and all the way from western Tokyo to the southern tip of Odaiba.
Good thing I ended up at an onsen-themed amusement park there.
Tubs and tubs of bubbling spring water. A 15-minute sand bath. Absolute relaxation.
