And now summer is here!   

Well it's finally time for my favourite season of the year. Cold drinks taste better, the beer gardens open, beaches are more fun, the sun is out, people look happier, and most of all, it's not winter! While it may be a little hot, my first summers in Japan were spent in Kyushu, where I actually wore t-shirts right through to November. So in comparison, the Hokkaido summer is just about right. I do wish my apartment had air conditioning though!

One of my favourite things about summer in Japan is fireworks. I come from England, where fireworks are sold only around November and New Years, when it's a little too cold to stand outside and watch them. They're also very expensive and many are banned by the government. In Japan though you get to do fireworks on cool summer nights, and they're cheap! I'm hoping to do a lot of fireworks this year as I didn't really get around to it last year.

The summer also marks a full 4 years in spent Japan for me, and a full year in Sapporo! I'll have to remember to go to the Odori beer gardens to celebrate, and of course make a toast to many more fun years in Hokkaido and Japan!

Hope to see you all in the cafe!
