It was Dragon Boat Festival last Saturday. As soon as the day comes, it also means summer is announcing its official presence according to the Lunar calendar. I somehow quite enjoy the heat so far since I came back from Scotland, ha, guess I need to wait until mid August to decide how much I enjoy being embraced by the tropical humidity!!!
I had a quick getaway to Japan for a four-day weekend at the end of May. I went to the main island in the south this time. The weather there was really similar to Taiwan and the people were truly friendly. I actually got to speak a lot more Japanese since my sister was not with me this time though it’s been ten years since I finished my Japanese major. A lady I was chatting to showed me the brochure of Taipei 101 building she got during her visit of Taiwan, that was a very pleasant surprise from my local encounter. The south island is famous for its hot spring. The custom for Japanese to take a hot bath at a hot spring resort or hotel is usually before dinner, before bedtime and before breakfast. No kidding, it is almost like most people having three meals a day, this is how much they are into it and this has become part of their daily life hobby. I enjoy the outdoor ones so much that I had to go twice late at night and early in the morning. There are also various “flavored” ones you can choose from, I was delightfully lost between the red-wine, white pearl powder (famous for Chinese emperor’s 3000 wives) and Chinese herbal ones. Another thing I was addicted to was the very well equipped toilet gadgets. You can set up a “warmer” seat, water flowing sound when you go, the breeze of fragrance after you go. The best part I think is you can actually have your bottoms cleaned up (almost feel like a massage to me) by two options (haven’t quite figure out the differences between them). I will not be surprised if I can get butt-spread perfume next time!
