Beijing was under a grey, yellow blanket of smog most of the five days we were there. Only on our last full day, Thursday, the 21st, did we see a very pale blue sky and feel the sun. Visibility was less than a half mile at most. Our visit to Tianamen Square on our first night (last Sunday) took place in humid air and the sun was a pale orange yellow disk that could barely be seen. Thousands of visitors, mostly Chinese, wandered around or watched the PLA soldiers stand at attention across from...

This morning we rose at 4:30 am to walk to Shinagawa Station and take the Keikyu (one of many different railways within Tokyo all separately and privately owned) to the Haneda airport. Haneda is the domestic airport in Tokyo and is much closer to our apartment than Narita, which can take a few hours just to get out to! The Keikyu left Shinagawa at 5:40am and got to the airport around 6. We planned to pack only one suitcase between us but at 5am we realized we couldn't get it closed and quickl...

... were a quite underwhelmed. Once again, probably due to a lack of our own intoxication. Oh well, we had fun anyway singing the "irish drinking song" game from "Whose Line Is It Anyway."
The night ended back at the hotel, and we just decided to take it easy. I think we're all getting pretty tired of living out of backpacks and sleeping on trains. Speaking of trains, we have an early one tomorrow so goodnight all!
My friend took me to the Moerenuma Park (http://www.sapporo-park.or.jp/moere/en glish.php) where a famous Japanese-American architect/designer, Isamu Noguchi designed.
He's famous for those Akari series lights (you can see these at IKEA often).
I heard this place was just for garbage dumping... and the city of Sapporo decided to have a nice park here.
We had a nice lunch at "Yuuhi ...
... existence and contributions. A small town of Nibutani (Biratori) still has many populations of Ainu. At the bus stop, I was asked where I came from from an older lady. I said, "Hawaii". She just told me "thank you for coming all the way from Hawaii. It must be really cold here for you". It's summer, but yeah, it was a bit chilly for me. Next summer I hope to come back to Hokkaido and drive around, and I'd like to talk to more people. I am already looking forward to it!

Today, in order to make our travels around Sapporo more efficient, we decided to get ourselves some wheels. No, not a car... but a couple of rental bicycles from our hotel. For $10 we could ride two bikes for 8 hours. Now, these are not the most attractive bikes -- they look like something that a school teacher would have rode in the 1930's but they are comfortable and they get the job done. Laugh at the baskets if ...

... Olympics. The museum as well as having clothes warn by the athletes and various sporting equipment, had lots of simulators. You could be an ice hockey goal keeper, get in a bobsledder, cross country skiing, speed skating and the highlight, the sky jump simulator. The sky jump simulator had a slope and VR headset as well as skis. As you went down the hill the machine would slide you down the slope. You had to jump at the right time and open the skis to glide ...
