My Hokkaido goals this winter:
- Test living (long-term) in Snow-Country virtually risk free.
- Learn what I must know to survive in Snow-Country.
- Discover what makes a great house in the winter
- What features are required?
- Learn about the winter chores required for house up-keep.
- Learn about the culture and neighborhood.
- See how my wife and sons react to living in Snow-Country.
- And, of course, enjoy the winter paradise!
If I confirm there are more positives than negatives, then I will make Hokkaido my permanent home. Until then, I need to continue this trial.
