5 Minami 8 Jo Nishi, Chuo-ku Sapporo, Ishikari, Hokkaido, Japan, 064-0808, 11-512-8500
Today we were unable to go to the lavender fields like we had planned, so we improvised. Sapporro being the beer capital of Japan, we headed to the beer museum. Fascinating though it was, we were still below Japan's drinking age and therefore felt a little left out of the festivities. The beer museum was adjacent to a crazy huge shopping mall and we needed some lunch, so we decided to head in. We grabbed some ...
Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan allmystringsWe emerged from our miserably long train ride exhausted, groggy, unshowered, and...freezing?! Apparently we were farther north than we had realized. Our second problem involved a the time. We stumbled out of the train station at around 630 am. Our hotel check-in time was 4 pm. We were able to dump our bags at the hotel, but we had to find somewhere to go for the next several hours. We grabbed some ...
Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan allmystrings... the bridges near the monument in Hiroshima.
Then, this just reminded me of the Issey Miyake's article on the New York Times.

I've never been to Hiroshima yet.
It's not to blame someone now. It's a history, but there are many histories that shouldn't be forgotten... not only these nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ...
... from this town. The government planned on building a dam on Saru River, where Ainu people have used for salmon hunting and other sanctuary rituals. Many individuals including Mr. Shigeru Kayano who became a politician later fought about this project. The dam was built, but during the court session, Sapporo regional court mentioned about Ainu people as the indigenous people. That was the very first recognition of the national level about them. Since then, Hokkaido ...
Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan beachmonkie... ski. Enfin, Otaru est connu pour son aquarium renomme que nous avons visite ! On a pu y voir pleins d'animaux et de poissons exotiques pour nous; gros crabes (vivants et non sur des etales), pieuvre, poissons divers et surtout des gros animaux tels que des lions des mers, otaries, phoques et un gros morse, jouant avec les humains (ou plutot l'inverse).
Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan clemandpo... will but they are great for hauling groceries! Each bike has an ingeneous locking device on one of the wheels, making it difficult to steal a bike simply by driving it away. Certainly a bike could be carried away but this is highly unlikely for two very good reasons: 1. Japanese are pretty honest and theft like this is not very common. 2. These types of bikes are as common as dirt -- everyone seems to have one ...
Sapporo, Japan schwinkle... I couldn't get my feet in to the skis. My boots were too big so my jump was a bit of a flop, just 44 metres. Lorraine faired a little better with a jump of 55 metres. Being out in the middle of no where we had to get a taxi to the subway. Then headed into the city as Lorraine needed to use the internet. I spent the time in the arcade near by, playing some bloke at Tekken 5 and losing loads. We had just enough time to get back and get tickets, and buy a shirt ...
