Sapporo!?!

Despite my long-time interest in Japanese culture and history (and food!), I do not know a lot about the city of Sapporo. When I hear the name exactly two things come to mind:





Ramen and beer. Two essential staples of the undergrad diet. I have also had the Sapporo Ichiban song stuck in my head for awhile now. (Sapporo Ichiban, easy to do. Pour in hot water, it's ready for you - sing with me!) As I am sure there is more to Sapporo than their tasty exports, it is time for me to hit the books. If any of our dear readers have suggestions for must-sees, please pass them along. With only two weeks until our departure (eek!), there is a lot to learn, a lot to organize, and a lot of kanji to review.

  1. Clearly, you are way ahead of many. Excited for your trip in a week! I wouldn't mind some curio from Japan. You know, cause I can ask. Think of me, your poor missionary in Africa.
    Sending love!
