Japan's summer season is upon us, and it sucks. Specifically, it sucks the life right out of you, with its temperatures in the 30s (a.k.a. the 90s, for our U.S. readers) and its legendary humidity. Even the Japanese hate it, and they were born here.

Right about now, walking to work in a long-sleeve shirt and tie, polyester slacks and dress shoes can quite a memorable experience, to say the least.

I'm pretty sure this what being a tea bag feels like.
