The night outside is dark and moonless, but the soft glow of the snow clad Japan Alps can be seen off in the distance if you were to really concentrate your eyes on it--the light pollution here is very low. That soft glow actually gives a little warmth inside...on such a cold, lonely night.
WELCOME to JREF !! From my home to yours, I hope you enjoy yourself here, and make a lot of good friends--and of course learn a lot about Japan and all it has to offer; it's good and bad points, and such.
I hope to see you 'round !! MM
