Moving through weather
But in Japan, I rarely drove. Usually, I walked or cycled, and there were times when I had to walk or cycle through raging rainstorms, blinding blizzards, or screaming typhoons.

Maybe my experience of these bad-weather days has something to do with the fact that Japan has much less of an automobile-oriented culture. The prime means of transport are walking, cycling, and public transportation.
Whatever… I managed to keep moving, until I moved away. (Image source)
