Before I go...

So, I'm a list kinda girl. I can make a list for anything, and everything. I love it, perhaps a little too much, but I'm not going to stop! Something satisfying about seeing your thoughts lined up on a piece of paper. So, of course, I have umpteen Japan-related lists. I've added tabs on the side of my blog-lists of my favourite Japanese study books, regular books, websites, and I'm sure there'll be many more to come.
Of all of my lists though, the one in the front of my mind is my "Do Before Leaving Hokkaido List", so I'd thought I'd share it! Here it is, in all it's glory:

• One more Nippon Ham Fighters game at Sapporo Dome (I have to walk out with a T-shirt, at least)
• See the Lion King (seen in before in English, so Japanese should be interesting!)
• Climb as many mountains as I can (not many of them 'round Tokyo I'm sure!)
• See the carps  flying in Jozankei
• Go to the beach! 
• See Matsuyama-jo (Hokkaido's only castle)
• Have a raging Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnic
• Find more cool restaurants in Sapporo
• Have as many Wii/Nabe/Sukiyaki/Takoyaki parties as I can with my lovely Hokkaido friends
• Go east. Those lakes are amazing
• I secretly want to go to Rishiri and Reibun again, and visit the crazy youth hostel, once more
• Odori Summer Festival-beer anyone?
• One last (and first, actually) picnic at Yuni lookout
• Go drinking with the teachers
• Hip Hop night..
• One last crazy night in Sapporo
• A road trip, somewhere!
• Take some nice shots of my town
• Eat as much Hokkaido food as I can (ramen, seafood, melon, gengisu kan and soup curry!) 
• Add to this list

If you think I've left anything off, let me know. Next up is the "Japan List".  Watch out, that baby's huge!
