If I had a choice, I would choose to NOT go to Japan in July

July is the second worst time to ever go to Japan. August is the worst. Summers are HELL in Japan. The first three times I went there were all in the summertime - 1986, 1996 and 1997. The '96 and '97 trips were both for church-related seminars, where we had to do pilgrimage walks. I'm not in good shape, in fact, I'm in horrible shape. It was painful to go through those walks.

This year, we are going to Japan in July because our group was invited to perform for the 1300th anniversary celebration of the first capitol city in Japan (Nara). You can't really turn down an invitation like that, right? It's a once in a lifetime event (milestone anniversaries are a once in an any time event), so we are going to perform.
