I go every year for at least a few weeks. Normally I have friends come down while I'm there and use me as a tour guide for a few days. This year was my first time up in Hokkaido for the snow festival and the first time I saw my favorite park in the snow. Last trip was my first time seeing a live Sumo tournament - the first one in the new IG Arena in Nagoya. The trip before that was my first time showing friends around Kyoto and my opportunity to see Claris' last concert with Karen. Each time has its own charm, but I've always been single when heading out there, so I have yet to experience it all with the right girl on my arm.

@gabriel_true Day 151: Dinner was chicken and rice with green beans - boy do I love green beans! That's the next best tasted vegetable after lettuce and cabbage! I also saved myself some extra pepperoni from our dinner yesterday to use it in spicy noodles I have. I'm glad I told myself to grab extra, cause in this house, food doesn't last too long...especially extras lol, and I was right, I woke up and the packet of pepperoni was demolished, but I saved some in a decent sized dipping cup and hid it away where my Birthday bread is stashed in the fridge XD. - Hooray For Saving Things In Advance: Wei-Wei
