And about the freezing hotel... reminds me of visiting relatives in Niigata in 1980-81, they had one of the biggest snowfalls in 20 years. I slept in their traditional style living room on a futon. I could not believe how freezing cold it was! I had to sleep covered head to toe with the futon and all my clothing on top of me....shivering all night long. It was the 3rd day when my Uncle came into the room, saw how freezing it was and slapped himself in the head. Apparently the snow drifts had cut off the air supply to the room heater, so that's why I'd been sleeping in a freezer for 3 nights. I was sure happy when they got that fixed! Love the photos!
