Frigid Furano

I have never experienced this sense of endless snow, nor this type of arctic, sub-zero, walk outside and your face will go numb and your snot will freeze conditions. It is quite a sight. There is no relief from the snow. The scenery during our entire bus ride from Sapporo Airport to our Pension (Hotel) Ressha had one common element: never ending white stuff. That's 4 hours of continuous snow. You'd be lucky to get 5 minutes worth in Jindabyne.




We commandeered the bus; Sharlene was yet again back to her old (mummified) sleeping habits; and who eats ice cream in sub degree weather?




Anpanman has made a big play in the last few days. I've decided to purchase an Anpanman coin purse because: a) red bean is his constitution; b) Anpanman's friends are products of one of my fave trades:- bakery; and c) he has a massive head.




Our 1st day of boarding tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how my new boots perform. Speaking of performance, look who we bumped into today:
