I’m used to hearing thunder from ground level. Thunder sounds completely different when you’re in a high rise building. There’s a sort of tinny echo which follows the large booms. Today’s Tokyo rain lowered the temperature a bit, but kept the humidity up very high. The lightning and thunder put on an exciting audio & video display from late afternoon to evening. Even now, the lightning is still flash, even though the thunder and and have stopped.
I was able to make a quick stop after lunch today and buy some chopsticks for my wife and daughter. They like to use them to help hold their hair in little buns. There were two saleswomen helping me, one of them much younger than the other. The younger of the two demonstrated why I was buying the chopsticks, and the older one just giggled, probably thinking it made as much sense as placing a fork in your hair.
