Day 12 - Day 18: Last
week in Japan or “The week that Flu by”
This post will not be as long as previous posts due to a
lack of outside activity that week brought on by a bout of the flu.
On Tuesday we had to get up at the crack o’ dawn to catch a
train to Horonobe Junior High, however once again we had failed to let the
weather know what we were planning. When
we got to the train station we found out, probably for the best, that the train
was canceled due to blizzard conditions.
The reason I say I was for the best, is because when my sister came home
early from work she had the news that she and most likely I had the flu.
Thankfully my sister’s friends brought over lots of food
since we could not leave, and we had plenty of TV to watch. Also, I got time to hang out with my sister
without her having to take vacation.
Fast-forwarding to Saturday once we could leave the house we
went to the dog sled races, when to the snow poark again, and had dinner at a traditional Japanese restaurant.

Yea-a-a-a! I enjoyed this entry immensely! Loved the snow drift pictures. Ha ha ha on your alternate title.."The Week that Flu By." The dog sled racing is so much NOT what I expected. I loved seeing the snow removal. Thanks, Jon, for allowing us to visit Wakkanai via you!
