Konnichiwa,

Hope this email finds you well,

I and Eben arrived safely in Sapporo on October 3, we had a pleasant filght, quite bumping and a bit combined with thunders,

We have a nice apartment 1 LDK about 20 minutes walk from campus the Hokkaido University, we stay in the 4th floor and we get morning sunshine and had 1 Indonesian family companion at the 2nd floor. Many students live in this apartment, the Crystal Five Apartment. We have filled up the apartment with basic things necessary for our first establishment.

Sapporo seems to be a nice and quite a spacious place so many black crows flying, so far I have not seen any other bird type, there is a really big supermarket just opened only four blocks from our place so, it is quite convinient to get things, ONE BIG PROBLEM is almost everything is written in Kanji, so we need to find things with pictures otherwise we might be in trouble getting wrong things. However, people are so very helpful although we still need to use body language to try to describe our purpose,

And about foods,...NO problem...the taste is okay although a bit salty but it suits our taste. But the weather was another thing, we are having early winter, usually at this time of the year, the weather is stil warmer, but this year is very cold, today,s temperature is 13.5 degree celcius and very short we will have snow, it is expected to be at the end of this month...

Today I am starting my day at campus,
