Never Leave Home Without One

An umbrella, that is.

Japan is the country where if you had to carry around one thing with you always and forever, it would be an umbrella. It was boiling last night and this morning; the most humid weather I've ever felt. And at 4pm it changed. The sky loomed black and the thunder and lightning began. It's only just stopped, at 10pm. Six hours of lightning and heavy rain! With no umbrella, I walked home and got drenched.

Never again.
