have been working so much lately as well….worked as a hair model for a beauty school, got make up done, and hair and fake nails etc, even had to walk down a catwalk. basically we were guinea pigs for a bunch of 19 year old japanese students stydying at a beauty school. The money was good…just a little short of one month rent for two half days work….not to shabby ne…and i got a free haircut.
lots of partying- birthdays and farewell parties…drinking, dancing, karaoke etc

went to Lake Shikotsu which is about two hours away from sapporo to see the hyoutou matsuri a really cool ice festival…but was so cold. below minus ten degrees, nearly froze to death….i was only wearing enough clothes for zero degrees. we had to get the bus from the airport, and so we had two and half hours to kill at the airport….a kath and kim like episode

the yuki matsuri-snow festival is in full swing at the moment, and i havent even had time to go see it yet…must do asap.
