As a pasty Englishman capable of going red at the merest hint of some sun, it’s oddly reassuring to know that ridiculous seaside tans are a global, rather than a local, summer spectacle.

Ouch!
Lee says
Indeed! Must have been pretty uncomfortable to say the least…
Coli says
Farmers tan! But beautiful sky.
Lee says
We got lucky. The day after the typhoon. So nice skies and a bit of sun. Plus a few gusts left to cool things down just a bit.
Jeffrey says
Typical pristine Japanese beach.
Lee says
Not the nicest, is it? And that was a relatively clean part…

As someone with Anglo-Nordic genes myself, I can fully relate. But then ‘Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen. . .’ Cheers Lee !
Lee says
Indeed. An awful lot of truth in that little ditty!
