Today brings with it the most snow I've seen in Kumamoto in years! I guess about 2 or 3 years ago we got a bunch of sticking snow that made Mt Aso a winter wonderland. I watched it as it started last night...when I went to bed I had lost all thought of it. When I woke up this morning, I was enthralled to see a blanket of fresh, white snow. I wished I was skiing! And his brought back mem'ries of my kidhood in Pa (Pennsylvania that is) when we would get mega days like this and canceled school. Yes! I think here classes were canceled once or twice at Tokai Uni coz of the location right at the heart of Aso.
As I look out my window I see the white wondrous curiosity...what?... of snow in Kumamoto, a place which doesn't get snow often you must understand. And here we are in the midst of it. I'M used to driving in these conditions and walking around with just my hat and NOT an umbrella (a common practice in the rising sun land)...but are the Japanese? I tend to stay away from cars on days like this just to avoid any possible problems and confrontations.
I'm about to leave here in a minute to go out and take a walk. Let's see how it is...have a nice fine view!
