what do you see?

Hi again...well we're sitting in a very minimal apartment at the moment, having got rid of virtually all our worldy possessions this morning. Our boxes went off OK on Saturday too - the postman brought portable scales, tape measure, price calculation booklets...why do they need an actual post office really?
So now we just wait for our net-ordered pizza to arrive and then we have the rest of the day to get the place clean and finish packing our suitcases. Only 4 more hours of internet access left today, so I think this will be my last ever post from Hokkaido. Goodbye to the Snow Country!
