You know you are really in the Northern Hemisphere when you leave your apartment in the morning and your street is blanketed in snow.

You know you are really in Japan when your subway (note, called a subway for the reason of it being below ground) stops for two minutes at every station because of the "danger" of snow ("Abunai! Abunai! Snow approaching!").

Luckily for this snow-starved antipodean, I was too busy frolicking in the white stuff and day-dreaming of evening snow-fights with Matt to really give a f@#k about being late for work...
