This is the third day in and I am finally able to connect via high speed to the Internet. It was the JAL flight 061 that carried me across the Pacific into Narita, and another to take me to Sapporo, Hokkaido. Though my short trip is soon to be over, and the incoming post-travel depression is already stirring in the back of my mind, I am just having a blast. The picturesque Hokkaido offered a whole lot: clean air, crystal-clear water that taste better than bottled, soft snow, Japanese hospitality, cheap fresh seafood, and friendly people. As I am writing this in the comfort of the Renaissance Hotel, where reportedly the Rolling Stones are also staying, dark clouds are pouring down heavy rain and thunder sounding its fury. There are so many things that I wish to convey before they escape, but I just couldn't quite put it down for my mind is restless. Snow was falling lightly earlier yesterday, and I hope the same for tomorrow. Everything is so agreeable.
