Hi! I am moving to Sapporo in September for a year as part of a course at university but before we go we have to complete some research. Would anybody be interested in answering any of the following questions for me? I would really appreciate any responses to any of the questions! You can pm me or type them here if you are interested in helping out!

Thanks!
