December December December yay yay yay yay! I'm coming home NEXT MONTH!!! Hell to the yes. Anyway. The snow's here! It hasn't fallen much in Eniwa, but it's in Sapporo and surrounds. Yay yay.

On Sunday, my host sister Chiharu and our friend Mayu and I went to Sapporo in the evening to see the Christmas lights in Odori. So pretty!

It was just beginning to snow while we were there, and it was the next morning when the snow fully arrived. But it was so nice, very very cold, but nice. They have these German Christmas markets there at the moment, selling Christmas ornaments and German food, so there were a lot of Germans around. A few of them kept staring at me lol. I just smiled and yeah.

It was almost like a movie, because there were all these fairy lights, and people walking around and talking, the snow was so lightly falling and there was Christmas music floating around; from where, I don't know, but it set the Christmas mood haha. うれしい感じあった。

Sooo... now that it's December, it's getting colder, the nights are arriving earlier - usually around 4pm - and I'm starting to see just how close I am to the end. I'm not sure if I'll know what to do with myself when I arrive back on Merimbula soil. Maybe I'll just sit there looking dumb and happy. I suppose we'll find out in a little over a month :)
