It wasn't quite such a sudden switch from 31 degree C in tropical Singapore to sub-zero in Sapporo in Japan.
After all, we drove up from Narita Airport in the south, so had time to slowly get cold in the car...
And even in Sapporo, the temperature only dropped to below freezing on our third day there.
It was the dryness in the air that got us more. Despite almost drowning in moisturizer, our fingers are still cracking up like desert ground. Long deep lines of flesh peak from beneath the white dry skin. It's painful to wash one's hand or hold an apple, let alone chop up the garlic....
But it's great to be in Japan. Especially when Japanese friends say "Welcome back!"
Yes, we are happy, despite the dry skin and cracks in the fingers!

Hi stan and lu, glad to see you arriving safely in Sapporo. We were missing you in church on Sunday, imagining where you guys were. Lu, also praying that your dad will recover soon. Stan, miss your antics!
