woke up and the weather was quite misty..
today we r living the country side n gng into sapporo!
bf time!!!
followed by a very very long drive to sapporo. haha.
me n my cousin slpt lyk dead logs.
on the way, stopped at a express way toilet for some break n relief.
me n my cousin didnt go down cuz we were simply tired..
i dunno y but buses always feel lyk a cradle to me!!
this is only a public toilet on the expressway leh!!!
their theft rate there is so low tt they r not afraid to put these ornaments on.
with nobody tending the toilet!!
n u see those tiny houses there.
it's for the birds to stay in.
wahhhhhhhhhh....
then more bus ride to our lunch stop.
a place where it's famous for the honeydews they grow
heard tt u have to preorder 2 wks in advance.
the honeydew jelly tt was so creamy everyone didnt lyk it n gave to me.
i quite lyk leh..
oh.. the tour guide also told us tt this place has a cream puff made of charcoal.
i was so curious i tried it.
ended up it taste lyk any other cream puffs, except tt it's black outside.
i nv blif his words anymore.
n then on to nijo fresh seafood market for some bargaining.
basically it's just a street with lots of seafood stalls.
abit impractical for us.
how to bring back one big crab to singapore??
as u can it's freezing cold.. so i kept standing near the heater while the adults shop..
getting abit impatient..
joined in the bargaining myself. lol..
n it's also here tt we saw some cute japanese guys.. =D
then on to tanukikojo shopping arcade for some shopping.
it consists of 9 streets in a beeline for u to walk frm one end to another end.
but as i said, the standard of living in japan is quite high.
so dunnid to expect this place will be THAT cheap too.
so happy!! tot i cld finally shop!!
didnt buy anything in the end..

high class leh.. we r standing outside a shop named "xi lai deng"
which mins HILTON in english.
wah.. Paris is my BFF.
this is their lucky mascot.
u can find it almost outside any shop..
this is the very famous "Dan Zhu" arcade tt japanese love.
the whole street is full of it.
oh oh oh.. i actually was planning to buy a japanese phone.
super nice n slim. n i lyk the "tiak tiak" sound when they open n close their phone.
but expected, the nice ones r more expensive.
out of my budget..
n they dun sell without line.
aft tt we checked with our tour guide, he said tt japanese phones functions r locked outside japan.
but i kind of dun blif his words.
aiyah.. he bluffed me into eating the very normal cream puff leh..
then drove pass tokeidai clock tower n stopped to see the sapporo tv tower.
they hold a snow festival in the park every winter.
but a pity the time we went the event was over.
n the whole park was full of dirty snow.
then on to JR Tower for shopping yay!!!
wanted to buy blue label bag but all the adults said no.
then i came back n got scolded by my sis n my cousin for not buying.
then the adults come back n regret.
speechless..
n the clothes there..
other than the basics, almost every piece starts frm 10000 yen.
tt is abt $160. i nv lie.. sompa!
my jaw drop when i see the price..
then on to some teppanyaki!!
tasted kobe beef which i tot was normal except tt it was softer.
when u put into ur mouth it will just break.
but overall, the meal was gd!
everybody look here look here. this is kobe beef.
8000 yen for this few slices.
tt's is abt $140.
with certificate. confirm chop guarantee is real kobe beef!
went back to hotel..
at night decided to sneak out n eat ramen at their very original ramen restaurant.
the feeling was not lyk in tour group.
surrounded by japan working men, smoking n drinking beer.
finally getting a taste of how japanese lives.
