I got a whole private lodging for myself for only 5693 yen. I also contacted the Filipino ALT of Wakkanai, Abhie to meet her and say hi to her when I visit (sort of a courtesy call).  I spent the remainder of the day preparing my stuff for the trip.

Weekend 19: March 12-13, 2022 Day 131: March 12, 2022 Saturday - Grocery Day  The sound of water dripping woke me up today. Thinking that there was a leak somewhere, I hurriedly got up and inspected the bedroom and living room only to find out that the sound was actually coming from the melting snow dripping on my metal railing.  I went to Rumoi's COOP to buy groceries.
