i woke up by the heat..
irony ryt? it's almost lyk winter there.
but the thing is, the hotel rm has no aircon.
there's heater in the rm.
the yukata is thick, the blanket is thick.
THAT is very hot!
so yeah, i was the first person to wake up.
so stop saying tt i will stay in bed n not go out.
when i haf to, i will wake up.
some morning scenic views.
on to the restaurant for bf.. my fave again!
beautiful view frm our table.
n then n then guess wad???
WE SAW SNOWING!!!!!!!!
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!
then up the coach we go to our next destination.
blur view of mt showa
then we arrived at our first destination of the day - bear ranch..
it was still snowing!!
luckily i noe how to read some simple tradiional chinese..
so pretty!!
im super happy!
into the ranch we go!
turned arnd n saw this baby bear waving at me.
haha. maybe not at me.
but im allowed to dream ryt?
in order to get food the bears will do alot of funny actions to get ur attention.
things lyk begging n lefting thier legs, n jumping up n down.
they haf their territories too.
if the apple rolled onto others territory, they r not allowed to cross over to get the apples.
these cages r to put the female bears to attract the male bears out of the forest.
actually it sounds really cruel.
but they did it for a point too.
they cant just leave the bears in the wild n attack humans.
they cant leave the bears in the wild to be hunted too.
next destination: Jigokudani (Hell Valley)
sounds eerie. hahaha. it is.
it's got all these sulphur boiling ponds n it gives off a smell lyk an egg.
it is also here tt me, my cousin n my third aunt went missing. lol.
typical tourist pose. hahah
there was this little hill covered with snow.
n when i saw it. i just put down all my things n ran up the hill
i lied on the hill n made a snow angel. lol.
y were we missing?
cuz we were the only 3 who went all the way down tt bridge to the middle of the whole valley.
tt was aft much climbing.
the scariest thing was, there was this crow.
oh yah. japan has really really big crows!!
so this crow swooped down n was heading directly at me!!
i cld have just died there.
as u can see, the road is all covered with snow.
it's very very slippery.
n so we reached the middle of the valley where there was this small volcano opening n it's hot sulphur boiling inside.
imagine urself lah hoh.
then it was lunch..
seafood lunch.
it's swimming in our stomach aft this photo.
i haf to say. it disappointed me.
i tink i have too high expectation.
some of the raw food we ordered.
the 5 of us r huge raw food eater.
salmon belly n toro belly.
these are gd..
the crab's body.
this amaebi is nice.. still jumping n fresh!!
very conspicuous seafood restaurant.
then it was to our last destination of the day - (Sounkyo Gorge)
it is situated at the foot og Mount Daisetsu-zan National Park.
this place is famous for its Ryusei-no-taki Falls n Ginga-no-taki Falls
meaning shooting star falls n milky way falls respectively.
one is female, the other is male.
cuz of the way the water flows.
but cuz its winter, the falls r frozen.
was trying to make a snowman.
failed.. so used the snow man made by others.
had some snow fights. haha
i was rubbing snow on my auntie's head.
then we threw snow at each other.
seldom get a chance to do so.
so must grab the opportunity.
returned to hotel..
ate dinner.. then went to some snow sculpture place.
see the place where they use as a slide?
they will sit on a tyre n then slide down.
so fun!
see snow i cannot resist le.
then me n my third aunt were the only ones who climbed allthe way to the top.
must see everything wad. i paid 2000+ leh!!!
SNOW FIGHT AGAIN!!! lol
