So its my last full day in Japan before I come back home for the summer. I had a few errands to run so I left the house knowing it was going to be hot so I was in a tshirt and jeans. I was walking out of my apartment and a construction worker guy told me it was going to rain. He laughed. I just thought it was going to drizzle because there hadn't been any rain here for a few weeks. I WAS WRONG. I got about 10 meters past the guy and the heavens drained their olympic sized pool on me. It seriously went from no rain to torrential downpour in 2 seconds. Although I have had this happen to me before I was still shocked. There was also lightening. One was so close it made all the power lines around me crackle. Scared the shit outta me! I thought that it was likely that today was going to be the time I got hit by lightening. Luckily it didn't come to that but it was definitely a possibility! During about 15 minutes it went from sunny to downpour about 3 times. Gotta love Japan weather! On my way back I had to cross at a crosswalk but....the road was flooded! There was water up past my ankle! But remember...this was from about 30 minutes of rain!!! Needless to say....I was soaked completely through.....My only thought was that this MUST mean its my last day before coming back to the US because it happened the exact same the LAST TIME! Luckily I didn't have to take the train today. But I will have to leave my apartment even earlier tomorrow in case this happens again. CAN'T be late for my plane. That would be bad!

P.S. I'm so friggin' wet!
