If you heard the Summer time what you going to image in your mind. Car wash,ice cream,Ocean,a ghost story,camp,Hawaii,skydiving and play the game all day. It's depend for each people about what they wont to do it.
In Japan at summer time people think firework,fair booth,watermelon,feast, wind-bell,goldfish,ocean,diving,trip,fishing and Movies. Japan and U.S have difference of summertime.
In may Japan Starts to getting summer time and get hot. The temperature goes to 3o-35 degree Celsius and some are the cities raise to 40 degree. At the same time the may is the rainy season in Japan. It's a very cool and mild time to spend it. But the Japan has a own special staff call humidity. This is makes the serious problem. When the temperature and humidity goes up, the human body try to keep the normal temperature and get lost the high energy to the body.
After the rain season people that goes to ocean and swimming pool to have fun out there. This is the temperature goes highest point. A lot of house has the Tatami,air conditioning and fan to use to get cool. The end of the summer season the holiday call Bon Festival is come up. This festival is for holiday but the perhaps is go back home to play the ancestor graveyard. This holidays comes from traditional of buddhist. At the typhoon is comes and natural disaster happen to break through over to Japan.

U.S summer is the people got the long summer brake to go out. People goes out for trip to LA,Hawaii,many people go out of the states where they lives. But they are not get out the U.S. (doesn't count for Mexico). The same time always comes with natural disasters. The East cost and West cost and Hawaii is tsunami always and hurricane. The summer time are the sports and activity times. People goes to do their work with the ski,baseball,swimming,cricket,soccer. Summer brings enjoy to the people to make the smile faces. By the way high school baseball is most popular summer staff in Japan. The base ball has the MLB team is divide to NL and AL to each other to East,center,middle.
If you interest the base ball,I will take the vote for which team you like.

Our summers are different, we spend them different ways. I agree with what Americans do in the summer. I can't wait for summer break!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had summer all year, the fun things we do during the summer just aren't as fun in any other season.
ReplyDeleteI wish to live in Japan. I like Japanese historical building and of course Tatami. Congratulations good job!!!
ReplyDeleteI like American summers, but that may be because it's what I've always known and am used to... It would be nice going to the beach like you do in Japan though!
ReplyDeleteCubs for me! (not sure if you're accepting American teams, though.)
ReplyDeleteOk, Lemon. This is an acceptable post, but it has two different fonts and is on the short side.
Nonetheless, it does allow us to compare our own culture with the culture of the Japanese. This time around, I see more that we have in common rather than differences. Especially interesting to me is baseball in Japan. What decade did it start to become popular in Japan?
(In America, some Japanese games have become favorites, such as Karate, Judo, Kendo, and the board game Go. So thanks for those!)
I don't belive that Summer time is really different anywhere. What i mean is that we all have the same goals in mind when that time comes around. That goal is to cram as much fun in that time as we can because we all know that eventually we have to go back to school.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for summer!!!! Good Post. We do spend our summer breaks differently.
ReplyDeleteand Mr. Wykes...why would you name someone Lemon?
