We're soon getting into the unpleasant, steamy rainy season of tsuyu. We may need to escape from the city for a while and head to cool place like sea, mountain or riverside. A picnic at a riverbank, taking in a cool breeze while watching people enjoying fishing or cayakking in the river makes for a relaxing time during the steamy rain season. So, let's take a good rest at a cool place.

Today’s Japanese phrase: “Suzumi masho!” = Let's take a rest at a cool place! ("suzumi" = cool down, ".. masho" = let's .. )

Stay safe and stay cool!
