School and work

School like usual in the morning, it was kinda hot today so after school I headed home and worked on homework for a bit before heading back out for work. One thing that is nice about summer in Japan is what they call "Cool Biz Style". It's a campaign started by the Japanese government to help reduce energy usage by not requiring businessmen to wear ties or suit coats so that companies can run the air conditioner at a lower level in the office. During summer, there are a lot of companies that sell special suits for summer, that allow the air to flow through the suit jacket and keep you cooler. Some of the suit coats are so thin that you can see the white shirt that the person is wearing underneath. Also today, Josh, Mason, and I all wore red shirts and jeans. It was not planned.
