grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 We probably talk about this kind of thing every year. But it's time to start moaning about heat and humidity, so a new grumble thread sounds called for. So, what do you do to cool down? (apart from sit in an air-con freezed room ) Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Apart from the last bit about the aircon... •wear a light cotton T-shirt under yer shirt •think slow, move slow... try to get myself into a low met. trance when moving around outside, never rush. •avoid carrying anything •keep time between aircons to a min., plan each mini excursion down to each cool-off spot seems to be all that really works, being as my chuaffeur's on an extended vacation...

rachael 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Not much you can do is there. I just try to get out of Japan for as long as I possibly can in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 buy a 84 yen orange juice (small carton) for the convini, freeze it and eat it with a spoon. Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Ahhh Indo, the old frozen fruit box. Great stuff that is. Does anyone remember the "Frosty Mugs" made by decor. Pour in your drink, leave for a few minutes then stir and shazam......slushee fun. Do japanese sweat less? The lack of deodorant for men got me thinking, combined with the fact that yesterday was as hot as hades and I was the only guy on the Ginza wearing shorts. Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Do japanese sweat less? A good question. The answer just has to be yes. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Dims you won't believe it but I still have my frosty mug! ( in Oz) great for cordial, liquid of any kind and yoghurt was a fav too...] mmmm Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 I wear shorts. I couldn't survive here in trousers and a suit all the time. That would be terrible depressing. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Once the sun comes out in Seattle it is hard to find a male human of any age with cloth between his knees and ankles. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 dude, no! now i have images of guys in sandals with their tshirts tucked in to short shorts, filling the streets of seattle. short shorts should have died with the things that died many ages ago. guys' knees should always be hidden from public view. no excuses.

mattlucas 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 What's wrong with kneees? Did you have an experience many years ago involving knees. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 i refuse to be persecuted for my knees, so will admit to nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Nobbly knees are scary. And should be banned. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 You nailed it mikazooki. Fortunately, summer doesn't usually last too long in Seattle. Actually, short shorts are definitely a thing of the past. Just try to find shorts without cargo pockets these days. BTW - that is a killer avatar man. Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I have forgotten what warmth and heat are. Hell, even when I go to Las Vegas I bring snow with me (It was December though). If it's above 18 or so, it's shorts and slaps all the way for me. Must be my time in Hawaii has stuck with me. I don't think I've seen too many japanese wear shorts - even on the warmer days at the beach. Odd. Link to post Share on other sites
