What comes to mind when you think of summer?
For me, it’s fireworks, shaved ice, summer festivals, BBQs… There are so many things that make me think of summer!
But if I had to pick just one, it would have to be the ocean! 🌊
So, I went to the beach the other day!
I used to live in Hawaii, so whenever I see the ocean in Japan, I can’t help thinking, “Hmm… the water looks kind of brown compared to Hawaii.” 😅
But once I actually got into the water after such a long time, I realized that it really didn’t matter.
I just thought, “This is what summer feels like!”
Japanese summers are insanely hot and humid (haha), but once you jump into the ocean, you can forget all about the heat.
Taking in the summer scenery and that unmistakable summer feeling, I came home with another wonderful memory from this year.
So, what about you? What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think, “Summer means this!”?
I’d love to hear what makes summer special for you!
