So far, the winter of 2022-3 has been fairly kind to Tokyo.
Unlike 2022, when the early days of January saw snow and generally gloomy weather, this year has been warm and sunny on the whole.
Kangaeroo got on the bike early today and headed downtown to meet some mates near Tokyo Tower.
It’s Coming of Age Day in Japan, a national holiday, and the first when legal adulthood in Japan is designated as 18 years of age instead of 20, as it had been up until this year.
The holiday is also one of those made flexible a few years ago to give people more time off. While it’s great to have another long weekend, surely it could have been added onto the New Year break to give people a full week instead of forcing them to return to the workplace for one or two days?
Anyway, the rides in and out were both sublime! It’s cold, but not too bad, and there is no strong wind so far, which makes things much easier.
The weather also augurs well for cleaning up the lawn, which Kangaeroo is now gonna get stuck into.
Looks like a tough week ahead, but striving as much as possible to live in the moment and not get too overwhelmed.
