Missing Fire and Blue

307

i finally get to sapporo and see it go from clear sky, to snow storm in 1 hour. everything got covered with white powder snow so fast. even inside the train station was freezing cold. went shopping for warm clothes but decided to use what i already have.

but first, while in sapporo, i had to eat its famous miso ramen. omg, it was so good!

then i went to get my train and found out that all the trains were backed up. crowded and finally started to move very slowly. slowly towards snow mountain.

the deep and deeper we got, the snow got deeper and deeper too. it was pretty dam beautiful!

when ever i see the ocean, i get super happy. maybe next time i’ll try to surf over here. it actually looked pretty fun.

such a great experience for me. the white snow is keeping the christmas songs in my head. today i was humming White Christmas. so happy! while i’m slipping and sliding with my sneakers everywhere. and my feet are getting cold again. i don’t know how much longer i can handle this cold weather. one part of me wants to keep going deeper and colder, and one part of me wants to back to somewhere warm.

it was pretty warm in tokyo just a few days ago with Inaida-san keeping the fire nice and hot. i feel like sitting in front of the fireplace and roasting a marshmallow right now.

i just had to look at the blue sky again to bring my body temperature up. as much as i love traveling, i really miss hawaii. i think i’m getting homesick? haha.
by the way, since these storms that hit japan turn and head for hawaii, expect huge swells this week and next. and i mean huge!
have a wonderful evening!
