The winter here in Canada is pretty harsh, right now where I live it's about -2 degrees Centigrade (easily the warmest it's been in weeks.), but it feels colder because of the northern wind. It's weird that I'm so cold here, because I was born in Hakodate (in the Hokkaido Prefecture) and it is not warm there, actually right now in Hakodate it is -7 degrees Centigrade and snowing. I spent most of my life in Hakodate but when I was about 14 (so the year before I started high school) we moved to the Osaka prefecture where it is much warmer, there it is about 2 or 3 Degrees Centigrade. So maybe I just forgot how to live in cooler weather? It was weird when my family and I moved to Osaka because the dialect there is different than what I was used to, but of course, I ended up speaking like that and now every time I talk to my friends from Hakodate they make fun of the way I talk, but what are friends for, right?
I miss Japan, and I may go back someday, but for now I'm going to stay in Canada, I've got a good job so I'm going to save up some money and maybe travel someday. I'd like to go to Sweden, and the United Kingdom, or Ireland (not part of the UK, save for Northern Ireland). But Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries and Iceland seem like wonderful places, all the people I've met from any of those countries have been fantastic.
Any way, wow that's a long post, I guess I'm lonely, haha. So if anybody has any questions about Japan for me, feel free to ask :) I'm happy to help or even if you just want to chat, (Shigeru_Horiuchi_Sama@yahoo.ca) go ahead.
Love~ Shigeru (The Cat Lord)
