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... also how the Japanese did in Asia and Pacific during the war. We should keep remembering how cruel those were, but again, not to blame, but not to forget for our future.
There are still many wars and violence going on in the world. Japan and Japanese people really should take this role to send the message out to the world, "war is not the answer, violence wouldn't solve anything in a long run".

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 clemandpoANA has an interesting take on in-flight entertainment. After the safety advice you get a pilot's eye view of the world, runway and take off. Landing is rather more merve racking as touchdown is always more of a rocky ride which adds to the visuals. Not a flight for those of a nervous disposition. There was snow, piled in drifts over 6ft high. -5c.
Sapporo, Japan mighty_atom... as if it were a flat world floating on cloud. All around me were cherry blossom trees in full bloom, dropping their petals in the breeze like snow. It was silent. I noticed these cherry blossom trees bloomed new blossoms instantly after the previous blossoms had dropped, which in their turn dropped and were replaced. Round and round, again and ...
