You know it's August in Kobe when...
- a 91F day could easily be mistaken for a 91C day, thanks to humidity on steroids
- the cicadas start their acoustic workout at 5:00 AM and proceed to deafen you all day
- the slightly sweet, slightly musty smell of tatami permeates your entire apartment
- your cats shed an alarming amount of hair at an alarmingly fast rate
- jet lag has you convinced that starting your day at 3:30 AM is perfectly normal
We had our first taste of August in Kobe a year ago today. Hard to believe it's already been one year!

Amazingly this sounds a lot like Beijing...except we could afford to run our air conditioner (pollute the world) and drown out the noise....I am feeling a little "home" sick...are the streets melting?
Don't forget that your clothes are soaked through by 10am.
