This summer Japan has had record tempatures. The heat and humidity has sometimes been unbearable. Also recently, the semi, which is the Japanese symbol for summer, appeared and started making lots and lots of noise. The Semi is a giant Japanese Cicada that makes this long, extremely loud, and high piched noise constatntly throughout the day. I actually enjoy the sound of the semi… that is when they don’t fly onto my screen at 5 in the morning and abruptly wake me up!
