Summary
Present were Jess King (Moderator), TJ Riggins, Nobu Otsuki, and CA Edington. TJ provided us with pictures unique to Hokkaido showing different preparations for winter, with one showing a road closure driven by the calendar instead of snowfall. Nobu introduced us to his grandfather and father in pictures, along with a picture of himself playing with his favorite toy as a child; he also showed pictures from his trip to Shirakawago, the historic heritage site. CA showed pictures of Christmas decorations from the German shop at Odori during the winter festival taken before the current pandemic. Jess showed pictures from the first snowfall of the year in Maruyama Park.
