【Japanese for Daily Life】 3 problems with Japan's rainy season ☔️ Here is what I think..🫤

Hello everyone this is Naoko In the previous video I introduced the Japanese rainy season Today I would like to talk about the annoying things about the rainy season I'll talk about the annoying and difficult things about the rainy season Of course I'll also mention some good things at the end Today I'll use a lot of Japanese related to this rainy season Please listen carefully Yes then I would like to introduce the annoying things about the rainy season First the rainy season is really tough I don't like the rainy season What I hate the most is humidity This time of year the humidity is really intense The humidity is high It's always damp It's always damp and it's kind of annoying There are a lot of annoying things because of the humidity First the laundry doesn't dry The humidity is so high that even when I hang the laundry outside it doesn't dry at all The rainy season is when the humidity is high even if it's not raining So the laundry never dries even when I hang it outside The laundry often smells damp Damp The laundry doesn't dry properly It's completely dry but a bit damp This is called "still damp " and it's common for laundry to be still damp during this season When clothes are still damp they develop an odor It starts to smell a bit That's why I dry my laundry using a dryer or dehumidifier inside the house Then I go to the coin laundry and use the dryer to dry my laundry Another interesting feature is that some Japanese homes have a bathroom dryer in the bathroom Of course there are bathrooms with a drying function You use that feature to dry your laundry in the bathroom Really the rainy season makes laundry so difficult Then the second one Mold grows At this time mold can sometimes grow on the walls Not just the walls but also food So we use the air conditioner's dehumidifying function to prevent mold We reduce the humidity We dehumidify Use the dehumidifying function of the air conditioner to dehumidify and then use a fan to dry the room as much as possible Then since there are many desiccants sold at the supermarket I buy desiccants and place them in the house For example inside a chest of drawers Place the desiccant inside the cabinet and in the closet At this time mold tends to grow easily so everyone takes various measures to prevent mold We take measures against humidity Yes are there times when your country has a lot of humidity What do you do How do you deal with humidity Then the third one It's hard to move It's still the rainy season so it's hard to walk with an umbrella on rainy days Even if you have an umbrella you still end up getting wet don't you Shoes clothes hair hair strands you still end up getting a little wet after all I don't like that It's very difficult Yes also on rainy days people who usually walk to school or work take the bus or train Buses and trains are more crowded than usual The public transportation will be more crowded than usual And everyone is carrying an umbrella The train is very crowded I'll get a little wet I used to take the train to school when I was a student but it was really tough on rainy days When I was a student I used to wear my hair down Right now I'm tying my hair but when I went to school I often left my hair down Then in the morning I straightened my hair using a hair straightener I used to style my bangs and straighten my hair before going to school But even if I straighten my hair in the morning it immediately goes back to normal as soon as I go outside It becomes frizzy because of the humidity That really annoyed me I had spent ten or fifteen minutes carefully straightening my hair with a hair straightener but it ended up being a complete waste of time If I go outside and take the train everything will come off due to the humidity Everything has returned to normal Do you like rainy days Do you dislike them If it were just one day that would be fine but the rainy season has so many rainy days it's really hard I would like to introduce the good aspects of the rainy season First during this rainy season hydrangeas are very beautiful Hydrangeas are flowers that bloom around June and July these hydrangeas are really beautiful Like this Pink blue purple and light blue beautiful flowers bloom in abundance That's why everyone if you come to Japan during the rainy season Please look at this hydrangea It's beautiful really Then one last good thing The rainy season is really hard because there are so many rainy days but rainy days have their own special charm don't they There is something special about rainy days that you don't get on sunny days It's the nice things especially the sound of rain The sound of rain is called "ameoto" in Japanese Listening to the sound of rain makes me feel calm doesn't it Doesn't it make you relax I honestly don't like rainy days bu The quiet feeling on a rainy day and the sound of drizzle or pitter- patter-pitter is something I like Yes do you all like the sound of rain What other things do you like to do on rainy days Yes we talked about the annoying and difficult things about Japan's rainy season and finally a little good thing Thank you so much for watching until the end today You did a great job Goodbye
