Weather

There are many things I will miss from Osaka when we move. The month of August is not one of them.

Okinawa is also hot in the summer, but you don't get these 35°+ peaks, and there's always a breeze that takes the edge off the heat.

Osaka, on the other hand, gets wrapped in a blanket of stuffy, hot air that just sits there and slowly smothers you. You take a shower, but by the time you've dried off, you want to take another one.

Come to think of it, I'm not going to miss the winter weather either. I much rather have 15-20° and cloudy than 5° and chilly rains. Osaka is great, but the weather there really is not.
