From today, I shall be leaving these incredibly hot and humid shores for the much cooler climes of not so sunny Manchester. A month long trip that will result in Tokyo Times seeing a similar slow down. So, instead of the usual 4 or 5 posts a week, there’ll be a far more summery 2 — on Mondays and Thursdays — until I return towards the end of August.
A relatively long period of time which may result in me missing a few things, but one of them certainly won’t be this sensation.

Have a good trip! Are you planning to attend any events at the Olympics?
Thank you! Nah, no tickets, so will have to make do with TV coverage.
Maybe you have a sunny and warm surprise!

I look forward to pictures of Manchester disguised as Tokyo
Hopefully!
That would take far more skill than I possess!
Have a great time! Eat many Wispas!
Cheers!
Nice picture!
The man must be enjoying the breeze.
Have a nice and safe trip!
Thank you!
Sadly there wasn’t much of a breeze that day. Or at least not a cool one.
I was wondering when you would start your annual migration in this direction. Have a cool summer. My next trip east will be at the beginning of September so I am hoping it will have started to cool down by then but am not expecting it!
Thanks!
I’d like to say it’ll be cooler then, but going by the last few years, that’s very likely unfortunately…
Have a good trip, the sun finally came out in the UK this week, hope that it stays that way!
Cheers! Fingers crossed. Well overdue some good summer weather.
Enjoy your trip!
Cheers, Lizzy!
Hope you enjoy your trip!
Thank you!
Have a great homestay, Lee. Might have a book ready for you to look at when you get back.
Cheers, Dan!
Excellent. Very interested to see how it turns out.
Have a good break Lee, don’t blink and miss the summer
Safe travel, safe return!
Where are you from in England Lee? I’m in Wigan, not far from Manchester.
I’m just round the corner in Greater Manchester. Bury to be exact. Small world eh?
