Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

You can't say "happiness" without saying "penis".

There's only one company that makes Monopoly.

The world’s most common disease is tooth decay.

13 Americans have died as a result of laxative overdose.

At least one person a week in the UK changes their middle name to ‘Danger’.

Baby elephants will suck on their trunks for comfort just like human babies suck on their thumbs.

Homosexual behaviour has been found in over 1,500 species. Homophobia is found in only one.

People who read regularly are two and a half times less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

The word ambisinistrous is the opposite of ambidextrous; it means ‘no good with either hand’. (That’s not me!)

If you come across a person who believes there are no English words with more syllables than vowels, they might not accept criticism.

The Maruyama Zoo in Japan spent four years trying to get two hyenas to mate before realising they were both male.

Older sexually active women are more likely to be sexually satisfied than their younger counterparts.

Only 31% of men and 65% of women wash their hands after using the toilet.

A ‘riot’ in England and Wales must legally involve a minimum of 12 people. Under US federal law, it’s only three people and, in Nevada, only two!

Mozart once composed a song entitled, ‘Leck Mir Den Arsch Fein Recht Schon Sauber’. Which means, "Lick my arse right, well and clean".

Karen alert! In 2015, an Ohio woman unhappy with her Chinese food order called 911 to complain. Instead of getting her money back, she got arrested.

There are two rhymes in English for purple: curple, a strap passing under a horse’s tail, and hirple, to walk along dragging one leg behind the other. (Do you feel a song coming on?)

According to a study conducted in 2012, people who complain actually live longer by about two years. This is because by complaining they release their tension which increases their immunity and boosts their health.

A 2013 study determined that Viagra is an extremely effective treatment for painful menstruation. However, the review panel determined that cramps were not a public health priority and refused further funding.

In 2016, Live Nation acknowledged for the first time that two-thirds of tickets for the Tragically Hip's final tour were purchased and resold by bots and brokers, leaving less than one-third available for fans to buy at face value.

The new mayor of Cockington in Devon has been banned from his local pub where he was a regular, known for drinking Guinness. The new mayor of Cockington is also a four-year-old Shetland pony called Patrick.

BTS can officially be crowned the most popular group in the world after smashing the record for most streamed male group on Spotify for a second time. Their music has been streamed a massive 31,960,000,000 times as of March 3rd, 2023, a number that is nearly double the 16.3 billion streams when they last set the record in April 2021.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Sapporo as a Winter Wonderland: A Tour of the Capital of Hokkaido

Traveling to Sapporo, Japan, feels similar to entering a wintry fantasy world. Situated on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, this energetic city is well-known for its delicious food, inviting winter scenery, and friendly people. Come along with me as I share the story of my incredible journey through Sapporo's charming streets and snow-covered scenery.

Day 1: Odori Park and Arrival

The stunning scenery of Hokkaido was covered in a layer of snow when my jet descended at New Chitose Airport. As soon as I got off the airport, the cold air welcomed me, but my excitement at seeing Sapporo warmed me instantly.

I explored Odori Park, a key green area that is transformed into a winter wonderland during the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, after getting settled into my comfortable lodging. Even though I didn't come during the event, I was nevertheless enthralled with the park's snow sculptures and illuminations. I enjoyed the sculptures and the city lights that decorated the skyline as I wandered down the trails covered in snow.

Day 2: Maruyama Park and Hokkaido Shrine

A visit to Hokkaido Shrine, a calm and revered location tucked away in the middle of the city, started the second day. Encircled by trees blanketed in snow, the shrine provided a tranquil haven and an insight into Sapporo's spiritual side.

I traveled to Maruyama Park in the afternoon, which is well-known for its breathtaking cherry blossoms in the spring and its serene winter atmosphere. The large open areas of the park were ideal for a peaceful stroll, and I came upon the well-known Maruyama Zoo, where the polar bears played in their snow-covered enclosures, demonstrating the coexistence of urban and natural environments.

Day 3: Susukino District and the Sapporo Beer Museum

Enjoying the city of Sapporo's famed beer culture is a must-do when visiting. I learned about the past of one of Japan's oldest beer breweries by spending the morning visiting the Sapporo Beer Museum. I had the opportunity to taste a selection of recently created Sapporo beers during the tasting portion of the trip.

I went into the busy Susukino neighborhood in the evening, which is well-known for its exciting nightlife and mouthwatering street cuisine. As I had warm sake, ate jingisukan (grilled lamb), and conversed with the welcoming residents, neon lights decorated the streets.

Day 4: Day Trip to Otaru

I spent a day excursion to Otaru, a quaint seaside town conveniently located only a short train journey from Sapporo, since I was eager to see more of Hokkaido. I was taken back in time by the town's ancient canal, which was dotted with dilapidated warehouses. Otaru is renowned for its glassworks, so I had to bring home a piece of handcrafted glass art as a keepsake from my trip.

In summary:

As my time in Sapporo drew to a conclusion, I thought back on the wonderful experiences and sentimental memories the city had given me. I had a great respect for the beauty of Hokkaido's capital after visiting Sapporo, which, from snow-covered mountains and old temples to lively districts and gastronomic pleasures, proved to be a place that perfectly merged history and contemporary.
