Well, it sure feels like autumn here...
which means the temperature is in the low 80's instead of the high 80's.
Actually the nights are getting cooler, so it is a nice change.
Japan really knows how to celebrate the seasons!
There are seasonal foods: (persimmons, chestnut rice, sanma or mackerel, pears, mikans, etc.), not to mention all the nabe, or soups, stews and such.
There are seasonal activities: Tsukimi, or moon viewing, Momiji, or Leaf viewing, and Sports Day.
Even McDonalds gets into it with their Tsukimi Burger:
a poached egg on a hamburger. Whatever.
Well, we don't get to have snow in Okinawa, but at least we can enjoy the other stuff!

Emi, save some for me. haha..just kidding.
I miss you so much, Emi(and Mika too) . Don't ever forget your aunty Ping.
oooh, egg on burgers is actually really good! I wish I were in Japan now...
You know, I have to admit I have never actually tried one... maybe it's the idea of mixing breakfast and lunch. Oh wait; they call that brunch. Hmm, maybe we'll have to get one before they're all gone!
