今天是夏至。
一年一度的夏至音乐节即将开始。
四面八方的年轻人正在涌入巴黎，迎来歌不停，舞不停，酒不停的周末。
我选择在这之前跑路，赶最早的火车一路向北。
早上五点多出门的时候还看到了日出，晚上估计还会看一波日落。完整体验一年当中最长的一天。
夏至，夏天真的到了。
昨天预报的是36度，但我走在路上感觉太阳底下不止这个度数，甚至阴凉地都觉得热风扑面而来。
地铁里没有空调。
国内的朋友们估计很难想象近40度车厢里没空调。车外如果36度的话，车里估计再加5度，保守估计。就是低温慢炖的那种效果。
我从M站上车勉强还凑合，到D站的时候车里基本满了。汗珠顺着脸往下流淌，脑子里想的是为啥我要出门呢，为啥我不放对方鸽子呢。
到P站，门开，俩印度人进来了，体验了三秒钟温度，转身就出去了。其中一个还跟我说，好热啊。我面不改色点了点头。他又问我，你是日本人吗？并在车门关上的时候对我发送了一个钦佩的眼神。我也没解释，深藏功与名。
也许今天开始会有日本人比印度人还抗热的江湖传说。
身在武汉并且吹着空调的呆猫同学表示，地铁没空调那人不就馊了。
我说，生死之外都是小事，昨天有人直接昏厥了，然后救护车拉走了。我活下来了。
法国人拒绝空调这个事情真的很让人脑壳疼。
我们楼就不能装空调室外机。
于是我刚刚下单了一个移动空调。
凑合用吧，能活下来是最重要的。
祝大家夏至快乐。
我先去避暑了。
Today is the summer solstice.
The Paris Annual Summer Solstice Music Festival is about to begin.
Young people from all over are flocking to Paris, going to have a weekend of non-stop music, dancing, and drinking.
I chose to leave before this mess happened, catching the earliest train going to Germany.
I eventually watched the sunrise when I left home around 5 a.m., and I also expect to see a sunset tonight. A complete experience of the longest day of the year.
Summer solstice, summer has truly arrived.
Yesterday’s forecast was 36 degrees Celsius, but walking on the street, I felt it was much hotter under the sun; even in the shade, the heat was intense.
You need to know one thing about Paris, there’s no air conditioning in the subway.
My friends in CJK probably can’t imagine a train carriage nearly 40 degrees Celsius without air conditioning. If it’s 36 degrees outside, it’s probably another 5 degrees inside, conservatively speaking. It’s like being slowly simmered at a low temperature *imaging yourself a fish.
I got on the train at station M and it was barely okay, but by station D, the train was almost full. Sweat streamed down my face.
My mind was like: why did I even go out? Why didn’t I skip the meet and just say sorry to friends?
At P Station, the doors opened, and two Indians came in. They checked the temperature for three seconds, then turned and left, directly. One of them even said, “It’s so hot!” I nodded. He then asked me, “Are you Japanese?” and gave me an admiring look as the doors closed. I didn’t explain, keeping my face calm.
Perhaps today will start the legend that Japanese people are more heat-resistant than Indians.
My friend in Wuhan enjoying her air conditioning, said, “If the subway didn’t have air conditioning, wouldn’t people smelly?”
I said, “Everything is secondary to life and death. Yesterday, someone fainted and had to be taken away by ambulance. BUT I survived.”
The French refuse to install air conditioning is really a headache.
Our building can’t have an outdoor air conditioning unit.
So I just ordered a portable/mobile air conditioner.
Surviving is the most important thing.
Happy Summer Solstice everyone.
I’m going to escape the heat, for now.
