Super hot summer!

2007年8月14日 (火)

Last week I climbed Mt Fuji with my parents. This wasn't my first time to climb Mt Fuji, so it wasn't very exciting for me. But my parents enjoyed the climb. We started at 9:30 in the morning and reached the top by about 16:00. Going down was much harder though. I didn't have very good shoes. We reached the 5th station where our car was at about 18:30. It was a nice day but I forgot to put on sun screen and burnt my face completely. I guess the high altitude and the thin air made the sunbeams stronger. Now I'm peeling skin off my face every day. I was hoping to come back to a cool Sapporo summer but this week has been crazy hot too! Even hotter than Tokyo last week! Have a nice Obon vacation and don't forget to put on sun block this summer!!

Winter is around the corner

I feel like this summer has come to an end. It was hot and sunny and just the way a summer should be in Sapporo! Now though, it is getting cold and it is raining every day. Soon I won't be able to ride my much-loved scooter and I will have to use the crowded humid subway and try not to slip on the icy winter roads. But winter brings a lot of cosy moments! I used to love sitting in front of an open fire, drinking cocoa back home. Here I don't have an open fire so my gas range will have to do. But, it's the moment that counts! All the convenience stores start selling Nikuman when it gets cold too. Maybe I get myself a juicy hot pizza-man sometime soon. I miss them!

A hot loong summer!

This summer my brother came to Japan with his friend and we had a great time! We rented a car and drove around in honshu for 2 weeks and even climbed Mt. Fuji! We were super tired at that time. But now afterwards I think it was worth it. I'm sad that the summer has ended now. Winters can be so cold in Sapporo. Well, see ya!
