what do you see?

It seems like the whole world's hot at the moment. Hmm I wonder why? It got up to about 28C in Sapporo, not so bad in the sticks (Chitose) though. On the way back to the station, I walked through that city's "Greenbelt", which is not at all green but could be thought of as a belt in a vague widish-strip-of-paved-land-with-pergolas-and-dried-up-water-features sort of way. It was the time for high school students to be out practicing various activities: badminton, dance routines for the girls and jumping-rope/skipping for the boys.

Chitose is really quite a fascinating city. I thin it has something to do with the faded 70s glory pachinko parlor architecture and eclectic mix of bars, English schools, travel agencies, hip-hop shops and elevator music piped into the empty streets.
