The A/C units in my apartment and the other apartments I stay in work pretty well, though. It's just the Sapporo apartments that don't have air conditioning units.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-2195736053830122162019-02-04T05:31:23.744-08:002019-02-04T05:31:23.744-08:00Like every city in Japan, it's full of narrow ...Like every city in Japan, it's full of narrow streets and lots of houses. Kitahiroshima is pretty small though, and there is a lot of green space not far from the station. I really am concerned about transportation, so perhaps they plan to extend one of the subway lines out there.<br /><br />And yeah, the Dome is pretty new, and seemed pretty functional to me. Maybe they need a bigger stadium, or they want more amenities (food comes to mind, plus luxury boxes, etc).<br /><br />Nagoya Dome is just a giant concrete blob. I've been to a couple games there and never really enjoyed them. I always felt so far away from the action.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-52759727726156947102019-01-28T18:21:37.957-08:002019-01-28T18:21:37.957-08:00Hot enough to break open your iPod?

I guess that is cool, way better than a Dome anyway. The artist's rendering makes it look like it is in the complete middle of the wilderness, is Kitahiroshima really inaka, or is that just the artist?<br /><br />I wish they'd replace the Nagoya Dome too, I can't stand watching games there. <br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.com
