50 reasons why a Japanese winter is hot
The B5 media Home and Dining crew are having a conniption with lists of 50 today. More specifically, 50 warm ideas to heat up your autumn. I’ve gone a little off topic by heading straight to winter because it looks like Autumn isn’t really happening here in Japan.
I am trying to convince myself that this coming winter will be a lot of fun. I am a summer person, so it will take some convincing. Lets give it a try and see if I can put down 50 reasons why a Japanese winter is hot. Check out the links, they have been carefully hand selected to leave you with no reason to fear a Japanese winter again…hopefully.
