alright! even though i waited till just about the last minute i was successful in buying tickets to sapporo to see the famous snow festival. if u don't know about it, i suggest looking it up on google because it looks fantastic. essentially they carve massive sculptures out of snow; makes sense to me, what else r u gonna do with it! well i missed this festival by about a month when i studied abroad there, but not this time! although it will be a short visit ... 2 days! and i think just about everyone from aomori ken will be there ~ can't wait!
found out why i can understand my neighbors when they talk to me. i thought they had lived in that house for a long time but it turns out that they've only lived there for 4 years and they are actually from down south near kobe. and i just thought they were one of few older people who can speak regular japanese in kanagi ... nope, it's that they can't speak the tsugaru dialect!
we've been having another melt the last couple of days. it's getting everyone kind of confused about what to expect from the rest of this winter. it started really early and so there's a possibity it might end a little earlier than usual as well. who knows now! at least my pipes aren't freezing anymore :-P
happy last day of january! man how time flies!!
