Even more snow!

I just arrived from a trip to Nikko Xmas party and Yokohama. Don't have time to prepare a complete post now. More things for my backlog. I hope I'll comment these two soon. Besides, New Year in Japan is the most important holiday here. Almost everything closes during the last days of the year and the first days of the new year. Including things like supermarkets and some touristic places. That means I'll...

1- not be able to post for a while. By "almost everything", the lab where I use the computer is included.

2- have to buy some (food) stock in order not to starve.

Meanwhile, just to keep the blog rolling, another snow pic.

That was the heaviest I've seen in Himeji so far (it snowed heavier in Nikko, but I can't even compare...). Some centimeters of snow in the floor, morning classes cancelled because of it (buses stopped for some time in the morning, trains also)... But it was nice to see "real" snow scenary.

Comments:

• I tried to use the time I got from the cancelled class to do laundry. But the water was frozen, so it was impossible to use the laundry machine...

• After staying for long outside, when you go indoors, it seems like you got out of somewhere with heavy illumination, although it was cloudy outside. Guess that it's the excess of white in the landscape...

• It's funny to use umbrellas with snow. And it's hard to hold the umbrella, the camera and take pictures.

• Cars with chains on their tires are noisy, but without it bad things may happen. The next day the snow wasn't completely melted and one car almost slipped from a ramp at the university parking lot.

• I can't believe that some people were by bikes in that weather...

• I should not wear my Havaianas when it's snowing... ^^;

• For my friend who recommended me to hit a snowman with both feet at the same time (flying double kick!), I didn't do that this time, but I did that in Nikko. It's funny, especially when you fall, but terribly cold after you do it...

• And for those asking for a snowman...
