Flag!

Anyone know where I can buy a flag like this in Sapporo???

I'm hoping to pick one up when I visit!

:D

Romance!

There's still another couple of weeks to go before it's Valentines Day, but it's been impossible to go anywhere for the last month (more specifically, since all the shops stopped displaying their Christmas stock) without being bombarded with pink hearts, cute fluffy animals, cards, chocolates, love song compilation CD's and DVD's starring Hugh Grant.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for romance, but I've always thought that one of the fun parts of it was the element of surprise (little love notes left around the house, unexpected gifts, a foot massage after a hard day at work, you know the sort of thing I mean)

Being told on a certain day to be 'romantic' (whether you want to be or not) kind of defeats the whole idea...

Hmmm...maybe it's just me getting bitter because I'm single...

:D
