First three months in Sapporo   

Hello everyone!! I hope you will enjoy my first blog here on Chit Chat Cafe page.

Some of you might be aware of this, but I have come to Sapporo only 3 months ago with my Japanese husband to enjoy our time in Japan.
As such I thought I should talk about what I have experienced in these past months.

I think I should apologise straight away, as it seems that since I came to Sapporo we have had some terrible cold weather. This has deterred me somewhat at the start from exploring Sapporo and enjoying this beautiful city to the fullest. But fortunately I have managed to get around to a few stunning places in Hokkaido during my time here. Ootaru, Niseko, Maruyama, Bie and Moerenuma park were the biggest ones and were just spectacular! Lots and lots of delicious food, amazing mountain terrain, never-ending rice fields, an incredible blue lake and lately an ocean of sakura and lilac blossoms - breathtaking.

And now that the summer is finally under way, I can really start to let loose and take in Hokkaido with everything it's got.

Despite all the fun that I had, there were some things I just had to get used to here in Japan, coming all the way from sunny Australia.
Language barrier of course was and still is the biggest obstacle for me to living in Japan. Even the simplest things like ordering food in a restaurant or buying groceries seemed almost impossible at the start. Now however, I am slowly beginning to settle in and get used to way of life Sapporo-style.

I am looking forward to all the adventures I will have here and the experiences that will help broaden my mind!

I would love to hear any suggestions as to where I should go to in Hokkaido, so please don't hesitate to come up to me and let me know.

Cheers,

Abe Maria (Rus/Aus)
