Slow news day

Last couple days I've been having a really bad throat so haven't been venturing out too much into the cold. Plus every time I do I forget to take my blimmin camera!! Particularly annoyed as while having my regular morning coffee at 08:30 downtown, it was raining small squares of coloured paper! Must be a Japanese thing. :s

So it's been exactly a week and I'm missing friends and family a lot. Also missing my English students, especially the two Naoko's! Those lessons were always such fun.

Also tonight is my first encounter with a snow storm, though our friend says it's only the wind that is strong and that there are three days in the year where you can't see past an outstretched arm! Definately looking forward to that! (as long as I don't have to work that day)

Anyway, on with the photo's!

Just took these four outside the window. The buildings keep disappearing! Expected to last until the morning. Snowmen tomorrow I hope!!

Going...

going...

gone!

The ice likes to consume broken umbrellas. I have found other victims but forgot my camera.

This one is for my dad = I finally tried a doutor sandwich, and yes! They ARE yummy! And the coffee is friendly :)

Some more awesome Engrish

My brilliant new diary notebook. Writing at the bottom reads... 'Quality time nurtures grace and beauty. I depart with my full bag of time. Experiencing deliciousness made me a slave to taste. We provide a first-class taste brought directly from the earth.'... riiiight

Sapporo graffiti is a bit more sleek than London graffiti

Seems Japan has solved the paper bag + rain problem; a little bag mac! Maybe not the most planet friendly of solutions but much better than shops using plastic bags 100% of the time.

Ok, I'll leave you with a little video I took after dinner yesterday. Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather back home!...
