A: What’s with all this rain? It’s supposed to be summer!

L: I know, it sucks, but we’re in the middle of the rainy season
here. Apparently it’s like this every year.

A: You’re kidding. I don’t mind the rain so much, but the
temperature too! It’s stinky hot.

L: The thing I don’t like is the change in temperature from inside
to outside. I mean, you go into the department stores, and it’s
like a fridge in there. Then you step outside and it’s like a big
blow-dryer in your face!

A: I think that’s how I got sick last week- my body couldn’t handle
the temperature extremes.

L: And you have to commute out from Takao. It must be horrible.

A: That’s what I really can’t stand, being stuck inside a train with
people crammed in there like sardines. But I joined the local
library, so now I can read to pass the time. And it works too.

L: I usually have my walkman with me. The thing I’ll never
understand is, how can these business people, after a long day at
work, doze off on the train, then wake up just in time for their
train stop? How do they do it?!

A: I guess it’s a skill!
