Sapporo/Tokyo Diaries: A Quick Trip Home
I took a brief trip home to America a bit ago to attend my sister’s high school graduation! Because America’s school year and Japan’s are just slightly off, it does kind of fall in the middle of regular work here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event though, and I figured even just a quick trip back…

Sapporo Diaries: Special Guest and First Long Stay!
I normally go to Sapporo on day trips on a weekend day so I don’t have to worry about staying too late and overnight, but this weekend was an exception, because my boyfriend is coming to visit me! The plan was to meet up with him in Sapporo Friday evening since he would land earlier…
