Cooling Thoughts

"Suzumi" is a Japanese word referring to sights, tastes, and sounds that make a person feel a bit cooler in the oppressively hot days of summer. We like taking this 3-Minute Vacation to Ice Hotels of the World, where visitors can sit at a bar made completely of ice, sip an icy martini in a glass made of ice, and munch on local arctic char on an ice plate in a hotel in Norway made from ice blocks (and rebuilt new each year from over 15 tons of ice).

Although fanning oneself with a magazine is a little suzumi, too.
