#karku

Today (morning for me & brother’s family) is my younger nephew Ishijiro’s first birthday, so if you’d like to say something in wishing a safe day, please don’t hesitate to say it. I really can’t wait to video chat with my brother later today. Don’t be afraid to send a little something, I’ll be sure to pass it along.

In love with this cover.

One reason I am glad ku=porokakko (college/university) is in this city. I very much look forward to going to at least one of these festivals since it isn't far from Hirosaki University. The only problem I would think of is that Tsagaan Sar takes place just before the Hachinobe Enburi, and may not be able to spend much time in it with my brother and his family. I can't wait to meet my 2 nephews again, and one of them is 4 months old, named Ishijiro/Batchuluu. 2 year old Ishizue/Suuriin Chuluu is doing very well despite the cold, and I really am glad Hakodate is quite easily accessible from here through the Seikan Tunnel since it means I could visit my brother's family on breaks (though these are rather sparse). I hope you guys are paying old debts and grudges buried for the old year. Apunno oka yan.
