Here is a small sample of my favorite sites:   This is the official bilingual Hokkai Gakuen website with links to its various schools and campuses. This is another excellent  website offering over 100,000 free animations and graphics for your web page creation.  This is my favorite sports news site with excellent coverage of all major sports.  Babel Fish (Free Online Translation) This is an excellent multi-lingual translation tool for languages such as English, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Italian, etc. This is Canada's most respected national newspaper with excellent coverage of national and international news.  An annotated guide to the best education-related sites on the Web. This is an excellent resource for web page creation. It includes a wide range of free graphics for your home page.  This is my choice for the latest online news in Japan (although their actual newspaper delivery to Hokkaido is. . .)
