I want to take this opportunity to wish all of the followers of my blog a Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for your patronage, and for keeping up despite the fact that I am not updating this blog as often as I should.

I’ve got a busy holiday week ahead, but once things settle down I hope to post about a few topics, most notably the Hokkaido Shinkansen extension that opens in March.

Enjoy the most wonderful time of the year, and I’ll see you soon!
