On a much "warmer" note, I want to share with you a neat picture which our company's president brought back from Nagano: monkeys in onsen (hoto spring).
This is a familiar scene amoung Japanese people, and I myself have seen images of it many times before, but I learned for the first time that this is commonly seen near Shibu Onsen at a place called Jigoku-dani(Hell Valley).
It brings a smile to my face just by seeing the monkeys enjoy their hot baths.
But, whenever I come across such an image, I wonder whether the monkeys won't catch a cold after getting out of the onsen, but they must be alright!
For those who would like to see it at first hand, check out the English guide available from the Shibu Onsen website. There seems to be a "Snow Monkey" bus service in operation during the winter season.
A visit to Shibu Onsen seems like an elegant and worthwhile experience as well.
