An okonomiyaki party, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Caz came to visit for ten days over New Year. We split the time between Hokkaido and the Kansai area.

A few photos of our Christmas shopping trip to Sapporo.

Since I haven't added any photos for such a long time, I've decided to put together a few in this album. Enjoy!

This October I organised a Halloween Party for local kids, with help from nearby English teachers. Here are the pics...

A day out on the frozen Abashiri lake involving snowmobiles, quads and probably the coldest banana boat ride known to humanity. Also, some skiing.

Two weeks in Europe with Ryoko. We combined France and Spain with a very short trip to London.

Photos from my parents visit, including Kamakura, Tokyo and Hokkaido.

I went for a boat trip along the coast of Shiretoko with Ryoko. Then, for my birthday, a little canoeing on Lake Saroma and my first Japanese BBQ. Finally, some photos from the High School Festival this month.

A class outing and a hike up Mount Mokoto.

My trip to Tokyo for the Recontracting JET's Conference. I managed to squeeze the FC Tokyo vs. Juventus game into my ever so hectic schedule.

Our trip to Singapore and Malaysia. Yes, those are real scorpions crawling up my arm. Nasty.

Me and Ryoko at the Ryuhyo festival in Abashiri. Look out for the giant Buzz Lightyear. Also some new photos of the drift ice around Tokoro

Photos from the Annual Sapporo snow festival in February.
