Hi All! Blog time! Today we made our trip up to Japan's top island Hokkaido. We caught one of the low cost national airlines, skymark, flight early in the morning and arrived in Sapporo by 10am. It was tough getting up at 5am to make our way to airport however and Tellii was awake or really with us till she had "a tummy full of tea". Starbucks came to the rescue in that department. Upon arriving in Sapporo we met up with tellii's friend Katy and dumped all out luggage at the hotel so we could...

... 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."

Most of the Ainu people I met are like that... they are very passionate and dedicated, but at the same time, they are very calm and relaxed. Somehow, Hawaiians are like them. I also visited the town called Nibutani in Hidaka region. This current movement of Ainu culture renaissance really ...

... living in a town of 18,000 for one year. These days I'm actually trying to study some of the Japanese that I learned so the people at my office think it was worthwhile to let us have a month of paid vacation. But in other news, the new JET's for this year have arrived and are settling in to their towns all over Japan. We had our Welcome Beach Party for the Wakayama JET's last weekend, and it looks like we have a good group :) Of course it's going to take some ...

... is useful as this is the home of both Consadole Sapporo (football) and Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (baseball). The change of pitches is achieved by retracting the seats at one side, then opening up a sliding wall. The pitch weighing 8300 tonnes then hovers on a cushion of air, massive fans placed at the side of the pitch turn it 90 degrees along with the front section of seats and then out the doors moving at a speed of 4 metres a minute. The artificial baseball ...
