Oh you have some dignity left? I hope this picture helps with that!
(No really, this cat is so friendly and cute and curious and and and!)

Welp, there goes all my remaining dignity out of the window. Not that I need dignity anyway, I'm just teaching kids these days. You don't need dignity for teaching jobs right? (Also, in my defence there are not enough cats here and I am in desperate need of cute cat pictures, thank you very much >"<)
As to that, there's this little place at the northern tip of Honshu called Misawa-shi, in Aomori-ken. It's at the same latitude as NYC and has a very similar climate - 40C+ summers with 90% humidity (and no a/c because "the local power grid is too fragile") and winters with 4 - 5 meters of snowfall average. I lived there for 2 years, so I remember it well.
Oooooh, another person who lived in Japan!!!!!! I had no idea, but there actually seem to be quite a few forumites with some ties to this place now that I think about it

I am considerably further south than Aomori now, so our maximum snow was about .5m, and even that was pretty big apparently

but nearly five years ago now I was in Aomori for the Matsuri though and OHMYGOSHYES the humidity was surreal! .....
well at least for a british person with no experience of humidityHahah, it's funny seeing how these things have somehow turned into forum lore

There are some truly beautiful things on the self inserts thread including magical girl blorps and lauftrolls if one had the patience to look, but boy is there a lot to go though if you wanted to find anything out on your own! Good thing there's still some about who remember
