Arrival in Japan

We are having a heat wave that might bring on a typhoon here in Japan. I noticed that many people are carrying around umbrellas, and started thinking that the weather must be unpredictable here. I later found out that there is a typhoon warning, so actually they are all just really prepared.
Other observations: people very into thier styles, mostly modern industrial and technological style archetecture, but there are some exquisite old wooden temples dispersed here and there, I love the rooves here
