Three months since then.


In the beginning of August, I've been moved to Sapporo-shi due to my job. It's been almost 3 months since then. 
Well, I was not interested in Sapporo, neither Hokkaido because flight fares are expensive if I go there from Tokyo. (In fact, it's cheaper to go to Seoul than go to Sapporo from Tokyo) So, I don't know much about there but I need to go there.
Now, I'm getting know about here.

Sapporo, Hokkaido 
Sapporo-shi is the capital city of Hokkaido prefecture which is in northern Japan. And it's the 4th largest city in Japan. It's about 830 kilometres away from Tokyo. 
Hokkaido is the second largest island in Japan ("Honshu:本州" is the largest island in Japan), also it's one of prefectures in Japan.

I need to board the plane for about 90 minutes to get to Hokkaido from Tokyo. Also, I need to ride train for about an hour to get to Sapporo station from the New Chitose Airport which is the largest airport in Hokkaido.
The plane fly in over Tohoku area which suffered from earthquake and tsunami in March. Of course, I couldn't see any damage from the sky.

My Life in Sapporo

I've never been to Hokkaido, and I didn't have any friends who came from Hokkaido or who is related to Hokkaido. Which mean, I don't have any friends who can meet with easily here. I think, it's good time to make new friends here. 
Anyway, the weather in here is not good for me I felt.  It too cold for me as October. Sometimes, the highest temperature are less than 10 degrees...

The trees are getting red and yellow

I think, there are many places which are worth to see here in Hokkaido, but I'm so busy at work and I cannot prepare my time to taking some photos these places. I hope I can update my blog again with some photos. 


Thank you.

The highest temperature= less than 10 degrees? That's crazy! Hope you won't catch a cold & hope you get settled in your life out there in Hokkaido soon.
