unloading the keitai

this is exactly the sight you want to see coming out of your building 5 minutes late for work already. It`s been cold here, in the mid 20s in the morning with some strong winds, i hate windchill. All of the streets have been covered in ice until around 1pm when enough cars pass over the ice to turn it into slush.

parking at school, i just drive my car into a pile of snow in the back of the school and call it a parking spot. It:s kinda fun to drive in the snow when there is nothing around that could do serious damage to my car if i ran into it. I think to get through this whole winter thing i need to keep a sense of humor about it.

Osaka towers and the umeda sky building from the highway coming into Osaka last week.

new years breakfast at my supervisors house. that is smoked duck and salmon in the larger plate in the foreground and a sashimi platter in the background. not exactly the food i would pick out to eat at 10 in the morning, but it was quite good.
