BEAUTIFUL MISTAKE

Friday, January 11, 2008

continued with hokkaido trip..day 4 first went to see these 2 waterfalls, Ginga-no-taki falls and Ryusei-no-taki falls..but turns out to be more like an icefall instead..coz all the water had frozen liao..haha..it was super cold that day lar..freezing like mad..and snowing slightly also..was dying to get back onto the coach..

after that visited the fox village..the foxes are so tiny and furry and cute! and they're left to roam around by themselves..at least they dun bite..can buy bread and feed them also..they were even fighting over the bread crumbs..haha..took some pics at the shop also..quite funny..and trying to hold a snowball in my hands and almost got frostbite..went for a much needed lunch after that..haha..

went to visit 2 lakes after that..lake kussharo first where we saw tons and tons of swans wandering around..waiting for ppl to feed them bread crumbs..once we started to feed them they start to follow us everywhere..haha..quite scary but damn fun..then we had ice cream cone while standing in the snow..damn shiok..the ice cream nv melts..haha..and eating ice cream while shivering in the cold..after that went to lake mashu which apparently we had to view from the top of some mountain..however the wind was damn strong and with the snow we couldnt even see anything at all..haha..the lake had probably been frozen over also..anyway we went abit mad there..coz the wind was super strong..really can blow us away..and we still insist on going outside to take a video..haha..madness..u guys shld see the video man..by this time it was snowing quite heavily and the bus had to go damn slowly on our way back to the hotel..we were quite worried that the snow might be too heavy for the bus to move and we'll have to camp overnight on the coach..haha..but luckily we made it!

next day took some pics at the hotel while having breakfast..the place is super nice..surrounded by full length windows..and see the view outside..then had to take a 4hr bus ride to sapporo..in btwn we stopped at this place with toilets and there were piles of snow outside..super thick layer..started playing in the snow and jumped right into it..haha..the snow is snow and fluffy.. damn fun!

reached sapporo after lunch and went to JR Tower, which is like this new shopping mall built at the sapporo train station for shopping! my mum freda and mi went over to tokyu mall instead coz they had burberry blue label there! blue label is this line that burberry has exclusively for japan onli..cannot find anywhere else in the world! the clothes there caters more to a younger age..ppl like us..haha..anyway bought a t-shirt there for abt $130..the onli short sleeve shirt i can find there..haha..didnt get to see much of other stuff coz we had onli abt 2hrs there..after that went to this place called li xiao lu where the whole street is filled with shops..reminds mi of shinsaibashi in osaka..it's enormous lar..bought lotsa food there and they helped us pack in a box so we can check in with our baggage..saw this pet shop there also and the puppies are so tiny and cute! but the store got a wierd smell..haha..bought a mascara from marjolica..this line from shiseido that's onli available in japan..the packaging is damn nice..and it costs less than 20bucks..haha..

went to Odori park after that to take pics..saw the sapporo TV tower and the tokeidai clock tower..the park hosts the sapporo snow festival every yr in feb and they have ice sculptures there..too bad wont get the chance to see..but the christmas decos are nice too! dinner that nite was BBQ..we had kobe beef! it was super super nice! nv had beef so wonderful in my entire life! haha..apparently it's supposed to melt in ur mouth but it didnt melt in mine..haha..but still superb! and expensive..100bucks for 200grams onli..but totally worth every cent!

last part of hokkaido trip will be continued another day!
