I just figured I’m going to be freaking cold next week

I’m off to Tokyo on Saturday.  Work, not holidays.

I know that the seasons in the northern hemisphere are opposite to here in Australia, so I did realise it would be winter in Japan, but just what that entailed didn’t really hit home for me until the last day or so.

First, I looked up the weather forecast on the web.

Then, on the phone today to colleagues in Tokyo, the fact that it was snowing there got mentioned.

So, better pack the thermals, polar fleece and big warm coat.   Thats a change from the t-shirt and shorts I’ve been getting around in for the last few months (plus I have to suit up for the week in the office in Tokyo … here I mainly work at home).
