Ano ang uso sa Tokyo sa tag-lamig?

So far, the temp here isn't that cold, about 6C lowest, as compared to Hokkaido. I guess that is why some young women can still walk around in this get-up. Wearing WOOL SHORTS in wintertime! Yep, isali natin ito sa listahan ng "beauty is pain". So far only the women do it. You will see a young couple with the guy in full winter gear, pretty much like the Michelin man, and the girl with her not so thick winter coat and the shorts, tapos you will see SKIN; exposure depends on the lengths of the shorts and the boots and the guts of the girl.

Most people in Tokyo commute by train and walking is pretty much the most sensible way to get to most places here. Flag-down rate for a taxi, 660Y.

I could still see some women braving 4C in this outfit last year... I thought they were slapping on some heating lotion on their exposed skin kaya nakakatagal sila sa lamig. hehehe...paano na kaya yung katabi nila sa isang packed train?

I already stepped out of the beauty-is-pain club, di ko na kaya, my hair has grown already and I do need that extra insulation aside from the warmth that my trusty wool cap provides.
