Sapporo

I've been in Sapporo since last Friday and it has been a very busy week. I attended a conference over the weekend and met a lot of very interesting people. On Monday I interviewed a person, on Tuesday I transcribed and prepared for two presentations I was invited to give at Fuji Women's University, presented my research on Wednesday and had another interview today.

The place I'm staying, The Sapporo Guest House is FANTASTIC! It is a facility for people doing research in Sapporo and there are guest rooms, conference rooms, classrooms, a small library and it is in the middle of a beautiful park. I wish I could stay here longer.

I really like Sapporo it is quite unlike the other places I've been in Japan. The weather is quite cool and the air is very clear. It is easy to get around and if I ever move back to Japan, I want to live up here (though I hear winters are very harsh with a lot of snow).

Jason arrives tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing him.

That's about it for now. Too much going on and not enough time!
