Do you like school uniforms?




Students from Media Academy gave me an array of questions to ask Japanese teenagers during my trip. One of Emely's questions was "Do you like to wear school uniforms?"

So far, every student I have asked has said "Yes." They tell me that they think their uniforms are cute, it's easy to get dressed in the morning and they like wearing what their friends wear.
One boy, Ryohei of Ena, said he liked to wear uniforms in the winter but that they are too hot in the summer. It's been close to 100 degrees recently and the humidity is like none I've ever experienced in America, even in the Midwest. If you want to say "it's hot" in Japanese, say "atsui desu." And "it's hot and humid" is "mushi atsui desu."
