Autumn Signs

Well, its getting colder and colder here in Japan right now… And Ive noticed the difference in temperature because last month, it was very hot, as in 26 degrees hot.. We suffered that temperature for almost 2 months, turning on our aircon for the whole night until we wake up the next morning… Of course we suffered the consequence of that, and our electric bill was doubled as what we have this month… Knowing the fact that Im in Nagoya, the literal center of Japan, they say that temperature here are the peeks or extremes.. Meaning if its cold, its really cold, if its hot, its really hot…

The transition we did was from 12 hours aircon, to 9 hours, then to 6 hours, and then we just opened our window for the air to come in… And now, we dont let any air to come in from the window.. ehehe.. So thats one sign that Summer is now transcending to Autumn..

Another sign is that there is a holiday here called the Autumn Equinox Day , though that day was still hot… Thats the official day that it already became Autumn here in Japan…

And lately, one of the noticeable things here in Japan is this:

Is this a Maple Leaf?

Is this a Maple Leaf?

I am amazed to see this leaf.. Well, its not normal.. And if you notice in some of the movies or dramas that you watch, where the season is Autumn, you will see this leaf.. ehehe.. I dont know why its famous when its Autumn.. ehehe…

There, so those are the signs that its really Autumn here… BTW, if you want to know, the temperature here now is 10 degrees… ehehe… Very very cold… I wear jacket going to and from the office..

Comparing Autumn and Spring, I dont know whats colder… Well, before Winter is Autumn, and after winter is Spring… So I dont know how I can compare… But when we came here in Japan, it was Spring.. At first, since we were not yet used to the temperature, it was very cold for us… But after some time, we became used to it, so we didnt wore jacket anymore..

So I think I can say that Autumn is much colder than Spring… ehehe.. Though Spring time here is very famous, because of the Sakura or also famous for the english term, Cherry Blossoms..

Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)
