snow

there be alot of snow in sapporo...

it be cold - the tips of my fingers were freezing with my weak little finger-less gloves i bought for the warm-cold of england... it's probably -6 outside here, where it never got much below 0 while we were in the u.k. for new year...

i saw a sign at sapporo station for the ラーメン共和国 - the "Republic of Ramen"...looks like there are about 10 ramen shops in one floor of the station building - made me think of mr. tanpopo himself, the shoe... if i had have been him, i would have leapt straight into noodle-slurping action... but i didn't, and i am ashamed at my amateurism...

ramen report will have to wait.

for now, i'm enjoying what is best in a cold place, sitting inside, in front of the heater, watching the snow fall outside! yay...
