New Japanese word: Natsubate

OK, let's try to remember this new Japanese word: Natsubate.

Means Summer Fatigue.

Japanese summer is pretty tough for the body, between the heat, the humidity, the temperature changes every time you go anywhere (hot and humid on the streets, cold in trains, subways, stores, etc), food poisonning (got a light one two-three weeks ago, one friend is not yet over a pretty tough one), etc. etc.

I try not to use air con too much, because my body does not agree with it. But there are times we don't really have a choice.

Let's look forward autumn (but not typhoons) and winter (but not very dry air).
