Greetings from Sapporo! It’s one week into my 2-month residency at S-AiR, although it feels like months have passed. It’s amazing how much living you can fit into a few days when you’re away from your usual surroundings. The city is beautiful – full of parks, flowers, trees and big sidewalks where you can bike around without fear of being run over. The pace here is slow and gentle, although the wind is much less so – it feels like it’s blowing down from directly from the icy mountaintops!
