Believe me if I tell you this is Japan. It could be anywhere else.

When my train reaches Berlin, will you be waiting on the platform of the station for me? Will you be willing to forgive and forget all the silly mistakes I made?
I imagine your slender figure, your face standing out of the many impatient faces on the platform, your awkward smile on your lips trying to restraint your feelings, the crazy hair and that fixed gaze of yours.
I like summer: the incredible amount of light, the beautiful happy dresses, the sunsets… excepting that I hate summer. I hate the heat of Madrid, the endless days of heat waves and not being able to rest at night or being just extremely tired all the time. I just ask for a few rainy days, a bit of cooler temperatures, nothing more.
To ease this suffocating heat I tried to remember the snow and cold from Nikko, Japan. It didn’t work.
Me gusta el verano: la cantidad de luz, los vestidos bonitos, las puestas de sol… salvo porque odio el verano. Odio el calor de Madrid, los días interminables de olas de calor y no ser capaz de descansar por la noche o estar siempre exhausta. Sólo pido unos días lluviosos, un poco de fresco, nada más.
Para aliviar un poco este asfixiante calor intenté recordar la nieve y el frío de Nikko, en Japón. No funcionó.

Hello Winter!
¡Hola invierno!
These days the temperatures in Madrid are too high for January. I miss the rain and we really need it to clean a little bit the atmosphere.
I took these photographs 4 years ago this same day… 🙂 Ooh the snow.
Estos días las temperaturas en Madrid son un poco altas para enero. Echo de menos la lluvia, y realmente la necesitamos para limpiar un poco el ambiente.
Hice estas fotos hace 4 años justo este mismo día… 🙂 Ooh la nieve.
