First days in Japan
The last week or so before I left it started to set in that I was about to move so far away. Before then it did not really feel like a reality that I was about to be living so far away from home.

This year the snow is only just melting away now in the beginning of April, and comparatively, they have not had that much snow this year (it has been a warm winter).
