Overview of First Half of Trip


The Sun setting over Akita Prefecture. Such a long coastline! A bit sad that I couldnt go to Akita Kousen..

Akita JR Train Station Building. Pretty station, with an airport-like interior.

Don't have a nice picture of Aomori, but this is the ferry we were on.Took it from Aomori.



Ah, finally, after 4 hours, the city of Hakodate, our first stop in Hokkaido! The wind smells different up here. ;)


Hakodate Train Station


The Water Canal of Otaru.


Sushi Buffet in Otaru. Uni uni uni! tamaranai! (if u don't understand me, go to a sushi shop and ask what an uni is..lol).. the uni in Hokkaido is superb..... tiada tandingan.. mou tak teng.. haha


Otaru's water.. Does Hokkaido water taste different? don't know.. my tounge ain't that sensitive..


Sapporo, Hokkaido's main city, Japan's 3rd largest city.. The words below this statue at the Oodori Park reads Kibou(Hope). The city of hope? well, it's a lot more hopeful than Tokyo, that's what I can say! haha


Sapporo University Museum


The Clock Tower in Sapporo. Honestly, I don't know what it's for.. haha.. Just pretty?lol


Eh?? Tokyo Tower in Sapporo? haha.. Actually, it's the TV tower, standing at about 120 metres above the ground. Tell u a secret lar, actually the 332.6 metres tall Tokyo Tower is also a TV and radio broadcasting tower(not a secret? haha).. But I guess they wanted to make it their very own, so they called it TOKYO Tower. they should do it with SAPPORO Tower too.. ^^


The Oodori Park. Goodness, it's long.. 12 blocks, for goodness sakes! >.< (picture taken from TV Tower)


Susukino, the main hub of Sapporo city. Also a Very hot red light district. you'd be surprised.. *wink*


Next, Genghis Khan buffet! supposed to be ram/lamb/sheep meat. so nice! The best yakiniku in Japan, I can say!


Let's start frying~! ^^


Tastes even better with Japanese Sake! Actually, I'm illegal(miseinensha). LOL

There will be more coming, but not sure when we will get internet access again.. probably not until we get back.. I'll post on some of the things and places I think are interesting after I get back.. so, please look forward to it!See ya!
