hokkaido in december is a blanket of snow. it reminds me of this quote by heather wolf: "kindness is like a warm blanket of snow, softly covering and gently touching the heart." when i first saw the quote, i wondered: how can snow be warm? but perhaps the sight of snow, contrarily, warms the heart as it transforms the landscape into a pure-white sight. it is the feeling of watching snow flakes lightly dance with the wind, before falling and forming one more stitch in the blanket.
of course, no trip to hokkaido would be complete without sampling their food - king crabs bigger than your face, creamy orange uni, fresh sashimi, and red-as-blood strawberries.
