Whoops!

Taichung, Taiwan - Sapporo, Japan, July 13th, 2007
The flight to Sapporo was uneventful. I got the bike boxed and on the bus to the airport and checked in with relative ease. Things continued smoothly until we began our descent into Sapporo. The captain got on with his usual greeting; 'we hope you enjoyed the flight... Its partially cloudy in Sapporo with the current temperature of 15 degrees. WHAT? Its July! It cant be cold in July!

How could I have overlooked this detail? Now Im remembering all the people who asked me if it was going to be cold. I said 'not in the summer!" Like it was some stupid question. Look who's stupid now huh? And all I packed were tank tops and t-shirts! Whoops.
