    90 degrees? Seriously? That is all?? Here it has touched 46 degrees C, or 115 degrees in American measure! Sweat away !

    How does it go? Horses sweat, men perspire and women glisten. Do you feel better now? You were only glistening, you still get a heat rash but you’re only glistening. 😉

    Here in Japan, deodorant is sparsely used. “Women don’t sweat” is a joke amongst the ladies here, always said with a sneer and sideways glance. That line really got my giggle. 😀
