Winter

2010年11月29日 (月)

It looks like winter is finally here. I've been a little jealous of all my friends back home. They have been showing me lots of pictures of the snow in Scotland and I was wondering when it would arrive in Sapporo. I would have to say that winter is my favourite season of the year. I love walking around when it's snowing and for some reason, the winters here feel warmer than the winters in Kyushu. In winter, the city looks so beautiful and there is so much to do in and around Sapporo. Which season do you like best? Why? I'd love to hear your answers.

Resolutions

2010年1月4日 (月)

Happy New Year. I hope you had a great holiday and enjoyed your time off work.
The time of year has come around again and it's now time to make your New Year's resolution.
What is it going to be this year? Are you going to give up smoking? Go on a diet? Study more? These are all the usual ones but some people have very different ideas.
Although, I know its best to have only one resolution if you wish to succeed, I have decided to choose two this year. My first is to eat healthier and my second is to join football team in Sapporo. If i can managed the second one, then the first will surely follow.
Good luck with yours.

Not so summer hike

2009年8月17日 (月)

Obon has come and gone. I hope everyone had a good holiday, whatever you got up to. Jon and I had planned to do a 5 day hike of the Daisetsuzan National Park. Everything started well and we made it from Asahidake to the Kurodake camp area in good time and enjoyed some amazing scenery along the way. As we started to pitch our tent the rain started to come. We were advised by the staff at the hut not to continue our hike. This was because the forecast for the next two days was very heavy rain. After the recent tragedy in Daisetsuzan, Jon and myself decide to call it a day on Day 2. Lets hope next year will be better weather and we can complete our challenge.
