Oｈ ! My
God Story NO. ４７
The short summer of New York
In New York, we had snow in April of this year.
Now I remember that it snowed in May of year 2000
and that's when I moved
to America.
New York is much colder than Tokyo.
I remember that I was amazed at the cold weather in New York
when I first got here.
It sometimes sets a record of ten degrees below zero.
Spring doesn't come until May 〜 July.
Then I look forward to summer.
But it's very short.
The hot summer days will end
by the end July or the
middle of August.
So we only have twenty days.
The cool fall comes immediately after that.
Since I like summer, I feel sad when summer is short.
I miss Japanese summer.
Summer vacations, summer festivals, fireworks, women in yukata, street fares
...etc
I miss all.
When summer comes, I feel sad to be in New
York.
Oｈ ! My God.
