This just in: Asphalt is hot!

Honestly, why is this news? I turned on the television and found them discussing how grass is 10 degrees cooler than the sidewalks and roads and being thoroughly impressed by the results. Is this some breaking news in Japan? Cause I'm pretty sure I knew about it since when I was a child and decided playing in the fields was a lot cooler than on the concrete.

In other news...

Last week when I was at the train station and getting past the ticket gate I suddenly heard someone loudly say "Hey!" in a surprised, yet friendly manner so I looked around and saw a black guy looking back at me, and in return I said "Hello". We had a small conversation while riding the escalator to the platforms and boarded separate trains. It was odd to be called out of the blue like that, but at the same time it was nice to have a conversation with someone who (I'm assuming here) is a native English speaker again.
