Off to Hokkaido

Flying off tomorrow! Will be in Hokkaido for the next 10 days, milking cows in a cattle ranch with my host family! Of course, that's not the only programme, duh!

(Above: Satellite photos of Hokkaido. The one on the right is taken during winter, January 2003.)

Checked the weather forecast for the next week. (Most Japanese fervently check the weather forecast before making plans.) It seems that it's going to rain for the next two days, and mostly cloudy for the following five days. Temperature is generally between 20℃ and 30℃. No typhoon alerts, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes nor terrorist attacks. No reports of Godzilla sightings in the area either.

Well, the trip should be great, I guess. 楽しみにしてる!
