Beer fest!

... 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!

Cold weather, slides, and ski jumps

... br> Next we discovered that the Japanese Winter Sports Museum was located just a short taxi ride away from the park. We went and checked out the olympic ski jump and the interactive simulators for several winter sports. Perhaps the funniest discovery of the day, however, was the INCREDIBLY inappropriate mascot for the ski jump area. Please see the picture below.
Realizing we had finally passed ...

Isamu Noguchi

... mieru (you can see sunset)" restaurant.
Oh, YUMMY!

This park also has this crazy fountain... the water goes up as high as 25 meters.

I could learn a bit about Isamu Noguchi today.
His father was a Japanese guy, and his mother was an American teacher.
Once his father knew his mother was pregnant, he went back to Japan.
Isamu was raised by his mother mostly in Japan, and ...

... 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 Brewery and Mt. Moiwa

Today was a busy day full of lots of travel. We decided early to take in two of Sapporo's popular sights -- a daytime trip for a tour of the Sapporo Brewery and a nightime look at Mt. Moiwa and some great views of the city. Many of you have no doubt tried Sapporo beer back in Canada. It is widely available and is brewed under contract by Sleeman's in Ontario. It is one of the oldest beers available in ...

Fish Market and Show Day

... as the Tokyo Fish Market (HIGH on our To-Do list), but it was still fascinating to see so many different kinds of fish. Crab is especially popular in Hokkaido for this time of year. So much so that vendors were giving us free samples on our walk to the restaurants. Literally breaking legs off of freshly killed crabs, and handing us the meat. Sounds barbaric, but I don't really care... because it tastes AMAZING! We then decided to try and get "sushi ...
